What is being bought

The Oracle Exadata appliance provides a high-performance integrated hardware and software data warehouse platform. This forms the core Corporate Data Warehouse (CDW) of the current NSS business intelligence platform (Seer 1). The CDW stores and manages national datasets which are used for national and official statistics outputs as well as management information and public-facing dashboards. Oracle is the sole supplier of Exadata technology in the market. Oracle Exadata underpins the capability necessary to deliver high-profile national data and analytics products.

Lot details

Lot 1

Oracle Exadata is an advanced integrated hardware and software database platform. It is a proprietary technology created by Oracle for high end database workloads. Oracle provide the technology as a service offer through private and public cloud. The generation 1 platform has now been superseded by hybrid cloud appliances and the hardware and software have reached the end of life. The proposed single supplier contract will provide for the ongoing use of this service whilst Seer is migrated to a new platform (Seer 2), including hardware and software maintenance and support as well as professional services. Additional information: This contract award is necessary in order to provide for the continued production of these outputs whilst the migration to a new technical platform is completed by March 2023. The current Exadata appliance is end of life and so new commercial arrangement direct with Oracle is necessary in order to ensure continuity of these services whilst an orderly migration is completed.

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 7210,5392 median · 15.4 average (4,161 of 10,539 with a bid count)2 average (5,053 of 10,539 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer571 median · 1.7 average (40 of 57 with a bid count)1.1 average (44 of 57 with named award suppliers)Not published
Delivery region: UKM5962 median · 6.3 average (330 of 596 with a bid count)1.5 average (371 of 596 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.
