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 483,4761 median · 6.2 average (1,155 of 3,476 with a bid count)1.5 average (1,322 of 3,476 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.

Procurement strategy & market signals

Framework agreementNot published
Dynamic purchasing systemNot published
Competitive procurementNot published
Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleThe contract is being awarded through a direct award under G-Cloud 14 Lot 1 (Cloud Hosting). G-Cloud was selected because the requirement is for the enhancement of an existing cloud-hosted Microsoft Power Platform solution and the framework provides a compliant and efficient route to market with the required services and supplier expertise available. A framework search using defined criteria including Azure, Microsoft Power Platform, Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, implementation and dashboard capabilities identified KPMG as the only supplier capable of meeting the requirements. The supplier selection therefore followed the framework's objective and transparent search and filtering methodology and complies with G-Cloud buying guidance.
