What is being bought

Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), as the contracting authority for Greater Manchester Police (GMP), seeks information from the market about potential software solutions that can support GMP's Sex Offender Management Unit (SOMU) in the monitoring of Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) conditions. This type of software is used to support SOMU in reducing and responding to further offending by Sex Offenders, including sexual communication with children, downloading indecent images of children and breaches of SHPOs.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support (72000000); 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 723,5401 median · 8 average (1,116 of 3,540 with a bid count)1.7 average (1,271 of 3,540 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.
