What is being bought

NGN currently uses DNV applications CP Logger & CP Uptime to enable field users to record Cathodic Protection readings on mobile handheld field devices against our assets and provide an inspection management tool. These applications are part of the Agreement for the Provision of Gas Operational Support Decision Making Apps, which is due to expire in July 2022.These applications are end of life and are unsupported due to old technology, which creates a number of security risks. DNV have developed a new application called Synergi Pipeline which provides the same functionality but resides on a new technology platform. A project proposal has been received by NGN for DNV to support testing and data migration activities before the system goes live. Justification for single source is based on absence of competition due to technical reasons as our current applications were developed by DNV and they are the only supplier who can replace them. NGN carried out workshops with an alternative supplier but they could not meet our requirements.

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 7210,5392 median · 15.4 average (4,161 of 10,539 with a bid count)2 average (5,053 of 10,539 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer151 median · 1.6 average (7 of 15 with a bid count)1 average (11 of 15 with named award suppliers)Not published
Delivery region: UKE42671 median · 15 average (33 of 67 with a bid count)1.3 average (41 of 67 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.
