What is being bought

FirstGroup Holdings Ltd. (Known as FGH) on behalf of its subsidiary company, "First MTR South Western Trains Ltd (SWR)" is approaching the market to procure a Customer Interaction Management (CIS) Solution to support their Customer Contact Centres (CCC) communicating with customers and internal stakeholders. SWR CCC provides services for customers 363 days a year across a variety of channels including phone, e-mail, and social media. Some services are 24 hours supported out of our two contact centres one in Southampton and one in Basingstoke. The team support customers who have general enquiries, require passenger assistance, need to get a refund on an unused ticket, praise an aspect of our service or make a complaint. These contacts can be across any number of channels. All customer interactions must be completed within a set of industry-standard SLAs, ranging from handling time limitations to measuring quality to response through customer surveys.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 48. The category anchor is Customer Relation Management software package (48445000); 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 486,3071 median · 8.8 average (2,305 of 6,307 with a bid count)1.7 average (2,690 of 6,307 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.

These contacts can be across any number of channels. All customer interactions must be completed within a set of industry-standard SLAs, ranging from handling time limitations to measuring quality to response through customer surveys.\nThe existing legacy system, built around Microsoft Dynamics, has been in situ for the best part of a decade. The platform has minimal integration, no use of smart web forms to improve case indexing and requires a large amount of user input to move a case through each stage gate. With a basic customer view offering very limited information and a convoluted and complex operational environment. it is difficult to train new users. In addition, the ability to provide management information outside the defined ORR reporting is highly manual and requires specifically skilled staff to administer.\nSWR are looking to partner with a supplier who not only has the technical capability to provide the solution we need to support the business but one who wants to work proactively with us to leverage the investment to the maximum level possible.\nFirstGroup is looking for expressions of interest from suppliers that can deliver an integrated and multi-functional requirement to achieve FirstGroup's vision of a single cloud solution.",
