What is being bought

Data Platforms are the infrastructure and tools that DBT's staff use to manage their relationships with organisations worldwide. Over 200,000 interactions are logged per year and many billions of pounds of investment/export projects are managed through Data Hub our internal CRM system and Data Workspace our in house Data repository. There are currently four in-house multidisciplinary teams working on this portfollio. However, additional capacity is needed on a Call-Off Contract basis to support business initiatives that existing teams are not in a position to validate and build. The supplier will provide an agile development team which will work within the existing codebase alongside or part of the in-house teams. Data Products are primarily written in Django and React, and currently run on GOV.UK PaaS (Cloud Foundry). The supplier will be working on missions from the product roadmap, similar to the other in-house teams. This will include known goals to help give exporting/investment support as well as new strands funded by the business. The supplier will collaborate on user research and shared design, develop new mission ideas, validate business hypotheses, review and create code, and analyse metrics.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is Data services (72300000); 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 723,6091 median · 7.9 average (1,133 of 3,609 with a bid count)1.7 average (1,291 of 3,609 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UK1,1141 median · 11 average (320 of 1,114 with a bid count)2.4 average (382 of 1,114 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)1888 median · 8 average (2 of 188 with a bid count)1 average (2 of 188 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.
