Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support (72000000); 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 728,0701 median · 14.8 average (3,120 of 8,070 with a bid count)1.9 average (3,728 of 8,070 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.

Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleUnder the existing contract, the intention is to upgrade the license from Sophos EDR to Sophos XDR. There are compatibility and efficiency reasons for maintaining this current contract and upgrading as described, which has the effect of the Council no longer requiring an alternative contract for an anti-malware solution. EDR is designed to monitor, detect and respond to advanced threats and security incidents on endpoints. XDR builds on this by analysing data across multiple attack surfaces,integrating data from endpoints, servers, cloud, network and other sources along with the inclusion of the ability to isolate endpoints. As part of our existing M365 E3 licenses we are entitled to use Defender for Endpoint P1 which can be configured to work passively as a backup to Sophos reaffirming our defence in depth approach. Sophos XDR is an additional £93,217.50 to upgrade for the remaining 4 years. This makes the new total for this contract £269,828.75 (from £176,611.25 original value). Please note that the Council is observing a 10 day standstill period which will conclude on 27 October 2025 at midnight. The contract end date remains the same at 25/03/2029.
