What is being bought

Navy Command (NC) requires the delivery of fully authenticated, validated, and current Mission Critical Operational Encyclopaedic Reference Data and digital product libraries. These data sets are essential for the operation of C4ISR systems across frontline Ships, Submarines, and other Royal Navy Units. To fulfil its mission, Data and Information Support (DIS) requires specialist technical support to deliver the specialist outputs.. This includes provision of expert support in database management, modelling, and a comprehensive understanding of the Royal Navy's operational needs. Such expertise ensures the effective delivery of "Through Life Capability Management" (TLCM) services, encompassing the capture of Fleet information requirements, data management, and system application support.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is Data services (72300000); 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 726,5781 median · 15.7 average (2,457 of 6,578 with a bid count)1.9 average (2,927 of 6,578 with named award suppliers)Not published

Similar published value (0.5×–2×)37313 median · 13 average (2 of 373 with a bid count)3.5 average (2 of 373 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.
