Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 30. The category anchor is Mainframe computer (30211000); 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 301,4384 median · 34.7 average (605 of 1,438 with a bid count)3.8 average (671 of 1,438 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.

Procurement strategy & market signals

Framework agreementNot published
Dynamic purchasing systemNot published
Competitive procurementNot published
Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleThis contract is for the supply of hardware equipment refresh and renewal of licence, maintenance and support of the non-stop technology which is critical to the day-to-day operations of The Force. The current equipment installed by HPE has very reduced support due to the age and will no longer be supported from January 2024. Continuing to use this technology is a high risk to the organisation. Due to the technical characteristics of this equipment, and the reliance of this system against numerous systems and processes within The Force, a change in supply of different technology from another provider would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance which would severely impact on our ability to deliver our services to the public. To ensure business continuity and security with our IT infrastructure, a direct award to HPE for the replacement of the current hardware to newer supported technology is required.
