Lot details

Lot 1

This contract is for the renewal of Read&Write software from TextHelp. Since 2019 SYP have utilised the accessibility software Read&Write. There is currently a forcewide licence for this software used as a reasonable adjustment mainly for dyslexia. The software provides screen masking, talk to text option and read aloud. Evaluation of effectiveness for this software is undertaken by the Equality Hub. This project will work with reseller Insight to put in place a longer term contract of 2 years with 2 x 12 month extension options.

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 484,0151 median · 6.4 average (1,357 of 4,015 with a bid count)1.6 average (1,567 of 4,015 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.
