What is being bought

This Pre-Market Engagement Exercise is being run to support the procurement and development of the Exposure Management Solution. NHS England (NHSE) held a well-attended market engagement session on 26th November 2025, to support procurement planning for an Exposure Management Solution. After completing a series of initial workshops on our high-level requirements, we would now like to invite interested suppliers to submit voluntary proposals for consideration by our project team. These proposals will not be formally scored, and submission is not a pre-requisite for a future tender submission. However, they will help shape our discovery and subsequent final requirements and procurement approach.

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 set	Procedures	Reported bids per procedure	Named award suppliers	Price evidence
Market: CPV division 48	6,836	1 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 buyer	23	Not published	Not published	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.

After completing a series of initial workshops on our high-level requirements, we would now like to invite interested suppliers to submit voluntary proposals for consideration by our project team. These proposals will not be formally scored, and submission is not a pre-requisite for a future tender submission. However, they will help shape our discovery and subsequent final requirements and procurement approach.",
