What is being bought

Ofcom is running a procurement process under the Open procedure to identify a suitably qualified supplier for the provision of Spectrum Management Centre monitoring Solution.

The duration of the Contract is three (3) years, subject to the right of Ofcom (at its sole discretion) to exercise its right to extend the Contract by up to two periods of up to 12 months. The maximum length of the Contract is therefore five (5) years. The value of the contract is estimated to be between £400,00 - £800,000 over the life of the contract.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 38. The category anchor is Spectrum analyser (38433300); 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 382,7712 median · 12.3 average (1,279 of 2,771 with a bid count)2.6 average (1,460 of 2,771 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UK7173 median · 39 average (264 of 717 with a bid count)5.4 average (324 of 717 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.
