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 (4,162 of 10,539 with a bid count)2 average (5,053 of 10,539 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 rationaleThis contract is awarded in accordance with the following derogations under the regulations: I. Where competition is absent for technical reasons (regulation 32(2)(b)(ii); II. For reasons connected with the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights (reg32(2)(b) iii) but only where no reasonable alternative or substitute exists and the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement. The local DNA management system is a bespoke and integral part of the FSNI DNA profiling service required by PSNI under the Criminal Justice and Police & Criminal Evidence Act (PACE). IPR relating to the approaches, coding methodologies, techniques and tools for matching and processing suspects belong to the Economic Operator. This direct award contract will allow for ongoing maintenance, service development and ensure ongoing availability and functionality.
Rationale classificationsThe works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights
