Lot details

Lot 1

The award of this contract follows a Further Competition exercise issued via the CCS RM6116 Network Services 3 Framework RM6116 Lot 4b under the Public Contracts Regulation 2015 as amended by the Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020. The Authority required a service provider to move the telephony system away from the exiting unsupported system, which currently poses the risk of potential failure and subsequently could introduce unrecoverable force wide outage with significant operational impact to the back-office estate.

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 726,7551 median · 15.6 average (2,528 of 6,755 with a bid count)1.9 average (3,015 of 6,755 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.
