What is being bought

Northumbrian Water Limited (NWL) provide water and sewerage services to just under 4.4 million people operating principally in the North-East of England, Essex, and Suffolk. It is NWL's vision 'to be the most digital water company in the world'. Northumbrian Water Group (NWG) is a large and diverse organisation which employs a varied set of processes to achieve its business outcomes. To ensure that it meet its regulatory requirements (OFWAT, Defra, DWI and EA requirements), statutory requirements (Health and Safety requirements; Environmental safety requirements), shareholder requirements and customer requirements it attempts to identify risks, incidents and associated mitigations to reduce the probability of interruption of its core business processes, therefore it is our mission to find a Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) solution that supports this. NWL wish to procure a 2+2+1-year contract for a Governance, Risk and Compliance tool including its implementation. The tool will be used across all areas of the business and will support NWL employees who are either based at one of our numerous sites, work from home or who are field based in completing their daily tasks in line with regulatory, statutory, shareholder and customer requirements. Our current GRC tool is used by over 3000 users to capture GRC data. The current solution allows NWL employees to collect information using forms (including images and map information) which can be created on a 'self-serve' basis. This information is manually reviewed by the admin team and assigned to the appropriate workflow in the system backend. Reports are then created and exported to create PowerBI dashboards and reports. The key features that we are looking for in this solution are, to support us with providing an easy, timely and high-quality employee user experience and help us to continue with our journey to drive automation and self-service in capturing governance, risk, and compliance data - key desirable features of the required solution are listed below: • Workflow automation • Maximo integration • Active Directory integration • O365 integration (specifically PowerBI) • Dashboard functionality • Reporting functionality • Scheduling of tasks • Fully functional remote device application • Non-NWL user access (i.e., contractor resource) NWL have an objective to procure a GRC solution by September 2023 with implementation to take place between September 2023 and January 2024 in anticipation for a planned go live date of February 2024.  Within our requirements there are also items we would look to introduce at some future stage, subject to business need.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is Software integration consultancy services (72227000); 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 7210,5392 median · 15.4 average (4,163 of 10,539 with a bid count)2 average (5,055 of 10,539 with named award suppliers)Not published

Similar published value (0.5×–2×)6554 median · 5.9 average (10 of 655 with a bid count)1.7 average (10 of 655 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.
