What is being bought

The Single Source Regulations Office (SSRO) would like to notify you of an upcoming requirement, and by doing so we are keen to understand where the market stands in terms of the requirement below. This is a market research exercise for the supply of the SSRO's Security and Information Risk Advisor (SIRA) services. Potential Suppliers are invited to provide an overview of their systems and support services that will help inform and shape the SSRO's specification. Through this Request for Information (RFI), the SSRO wishes to fully understand the market interest in delivering these services and the potential range of service models available for future delivery. The SSRO welcomes Suppliers' input into the process. This RFI will help the SSRO to refine its requirements and to consider its procurement approach for this contract. No information provided by a potential Supplier in response to this RFI will be carried forward, used, or acknowledged in any way for the purpose of evaluating the potential Supplier, in any subsequent formal procurement process.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is Information technology services (72222300); 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 725,7531 median · 14.6 average (2,068 of 5,753 with a bid count)1.9 average (2,465 of 5,753 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer1Not publishedNot publishedNot published
Delivery region: UKI4851 median · 13.9 average (196 of 485 with a bid count)2.3 average (234 of 485 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.
