What is being bought

The University of Portsmouth is currently assessing options for the potential procurement of a Leisure Management System to support the effective management and operation of our sports and leisure facilities and related services. This Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) is an exploratory exercise and does not form part of a formal procurement procedure. Participation in this PME does not create any obligation on the part of the University to initiate or proceed with a procurement process. Furthermore, a decision not to participate in this exercise will not preclude any supplier from being considered in any future tendering opportunities. The primary objective of this exercise is to gain a deeper understanding of the market landscape, including available solutions and their functionality, industry best practices, indicative pricing models, implementation approaches, and any innovative capabilities relevant to leisure and facility management. As part of this engagement, we would welcome comprehensive information about your solution, including its key features, modules, integrations, reporting capabilities, user experience, and any differentiating functionality.

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 728,9131 median · 14.1 average (3,476 of 8,913 with a bid count)1.9 average (4,166 of 8,913 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.
