What is being bought

The scope of services "as is" consists of: Data Centre's, WAN Branch & Admin, Managed LAN Service, NNI, Cyber Security, Break Fix Management Information, Mobile devices etc. Post Office is considering a strategy that covers today's business requirements for Branches and accommodates a future technology delivery model that is cheaper to run.

Comparable-procurement analytics
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 32. The category anchor is Mobile telephones (32250000); 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 set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 32 | 1,005 | 3 median · 39.3 average (327 of 1,005 with a bid count) | 3.6 average (360 of 1,005 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 0 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UK | 291 | 5 median · 131.2 average (84 of 291 with a bid count) | 7.5 average (101 of 291 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 37 | Not published | Not published | 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.
