What is being bought

Payroll sits within the Employment Services Division of NWSSP and is responsible for managing Payroll on behalf of all Health Boards & Trusts within NHS Wales for 125,000 employees. Therefore, Payroll is a critical service for the NHS, ensuring that Health Professionals are paid on time within a demanding Health Care Sector. The service uses the ESR Payroll system but currently manages changes to the payroll via macro enabled spreadsheets that have been in place for several years. Since the introduction of Microsoft 365 into the organisation, this system has not been as effective as before. Consequently, the Project Team would like to explore alternative options in the marketplace to develop the service over the next five years by taking advantage of new software & technological advancements.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 48. The category anchor is Software package and information systems (48000000); 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 486,8361 median · 9.6 average (2,488 of 6,836 with a bid count)1.7 average (2,927 of 6,836 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer451 median · 1.7 average (20 of 45 with a bid count)1 average (27 of 45 with named award suppliers)Not published
Delivery region: UKL2224 median · 9.5 average (86 of 222 with a bid count)2.7 average (101 of 222 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.
