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 728,8261 median · 14.3 average (3,432 of 8,826 with a bid count)1.9 average (4,113 of 8,826 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UKN4381 median · 7.4 average (194 of 438 with a bid count)1.9 average (288 of 438 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.

Competitive procurementNot published
Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleNo other reasonable alternative exists for this procurement, this system is essential to enable the Laboratories in Belfast Health and Social Care Trust to function. CliniSys have exclusive rights over the software, licences and updates for this system. The wider market has been consulted as part of the tender process for the replacement of this system. A tender process that encompasses the functionality of this software has been completed and the tender awarded to the current provider, to begin when all necessary testing and coding has been completed. This contract is required in the interim to cover the transitional period. This transitional period has taken significantly longer than had been anticipated. A replacement in the short-term is not a reasonable alternative as it would require extensive ICT infrastructure, validation and integration work that would result in significant disruption and lead to disproportionate technical difficulties that would impact on the Trusts ability to provide a Laboratory Service and thus have a major and critical impact on the Trust's ability to deliver patient care. In any event the introduction of the new Winpath LIMS makes this option illogical in itself. The absence of competition is not a result of the artificial narrowing of the parameters of the procurement.

    "procurementMethodDetails": "Negotiated without publication of a contract notice",
    "procurementMethodRationale": "No other reasonable alternative exists for this procurement, this system is essential to enable the Laboratories in Belfast Health and Social Care Trust to function. CliniSys have exclusive rights over the software, licences and updates for this system. The wider market has been consulted as part of the tender process for the replacement of this system. A tender process that encompasses the functionality of this software has been completed and the tender awarded to the current provider, to begin when all necessary testing and coding has been completed. This contract is required in the interim to cover the transitional period. This transitional period has taken significantly longer than had been anticipated. A replacement in the short-term is not a reasonable alternative as it would require extensive ICT infrastructure, validation and integration work that would result in significant disruption and lead to disproportionate technical difficulties that would impact on the Trusts ability to provide a Laboratory Service and thus have a major and critical impact on the Trust's ability to deliver patient care. In any event the introduction of the new Winpath LIMS makes this option illogical in itself. The absence of competition is not a result of the artificial narrowing of the parameters of the procurement.",
