What is being bought

The British Library has used Atlassian Confluence since 2010 to provide its user audience with access to a corporate Wiki. We host Confluence on-prem and our current deployment is v7.16.5. In the last 12 months, 268 users have logged in to the Wiki to contribute or edit content and many more will have accessed information as readers. During the same period, edits have been made to approximately 90 team sites/spaces. The SQL database contains 22GB of data. The Wiki is a popular and important tool which allows users to create maintain and publish multimedia documentation, share information across teams and departments, and work collaboratively on projects. We host a live and a test installation of Confluence using Windows Server 2012 application servers and SQL Server 2019 instances. Atlassian are withdrawing support for on-prem installations of Confluence Server in February 2024 and the Library is keen to evaluate alternative products and solutions, which will enable us to maintain access to a Wiki for our user audience, beyond this date. The British Library views this RFI process as one potential route to inform the future procurement of the goods and/or services described. The information gathered under this RFI may be used to evaluate potential suppliers and service offers and produce a shortlist for invitation to tender. At this stage, no final decision has been taken on the precise procurement route to be followed. When submitting information, all organisations should note that this is not currently a tender opportunity but is part of a market consultation exercise aiming to ensure that the procurement route selected and the options ultimately developed for any procurement are properly informed.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 48. The category anchor is Information systems and servers (48800000); 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 486,8371 median · 9.6 average (2,488 of 6,837 with a bid count)1.8 average (2,928 of 6,837 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UK1,8932 median · 22.6 average (612 of 1,893 with a bid count)3 average (733 of 1,893 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.
