What is being bought

The College currently operates a hybrid ICT support model with the day-to-day end-user support service being delivered in-house. This service is supplemented by third-party specialist providers covering areas such as IT Infrastructure services and security services. The College has no definitive view on whether a future solution should remain hybrid or whether a single managed service provider approach would be better. Prior to developing the full scope for that procurement, the College seeks to engage with suitably qualified organisations to understand what the managed service landscape can offer in terms of meeting the College's needs. The College is keen to explore the full range of delivery models available. The College wishes to hear from any organisation that believes it has an offering that would be of interest. Further information is available on the Delta esourcing procurement portal.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is System and support services (72250000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 728,0161 median · 14.9 average (3,094 of 8,016 with a bid count)1.9 average (3,697 of 8,016 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
