What is being bought

Knowsley Council wishes to engage with the market to understand what technology is available now to supervise people taking their medication. The Council wants to understand what the interest of the market is in a short-term contract up to May 2026 as well as a long-term arrangement via a larger contract which that is also likely to purchase a telecare response service and purchase technology enable care equipment (including but not limited to lifelines). The information received through this exercise will inform the purchasing decisions for short term provision up to May 2026 as well as the development of the new specification for Technology Enabled Services which is expected to commence in May 2026.

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 724,8041 median · 11.1 average (1,652 of 4,804 with a bid count)1.8 average (1,938 of 4,804 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.
