What is being bought

GA Trains Limited intends to undertake an open tender for the provision of a comprehensive and independent Service Quality audit programme. This programme will deliver consistent and objective assessments of stations and train services against defined standards and criteria. As part of this procurement, GA is also seeking a technology-enabled solution to support the efficient capture, reporting, and management of audit findings. The solution must integrate with GA's contractor management systems, enabling the timely resolution of identified issues and supporting effective, ongoing performance monitoring. The appointed (sole) supplier will be responsible for generating reliable performance insights that drive continuous improvement, enhance the overall customer experience, and provide assurance that Service Quality standards are consistently achieved.

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 482,6231 median · 6.1 average (802 of 2,623 with a bid count)1.5 average (873 of 2,623 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.
