What is being bought

The objective of NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) is to save and improve lives with the aim of being the best organisation of our type in the world. Procurement of a Statistical Process Control (SPC) Data Management Software System contributes to meeting these objectives. The SPC Data Management Software System must support data entry and reporting to allow both single datum and combined data analysis and review. The System must provide functionality to ensure data integrity and audit trail. The minimum system functionality will include the ability to build data sets by secure manual data entry to the system. NHSBT objective is to automate data handling wherever possible with system expected to have functionality to analyse datasets generated by data transfer to and from other NHSBT IT systems.

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 486,8361 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

“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.
