The specification is in grid format with all the main and optional requirements. The provider is to tick if this is provided both in the main core offering or an optional upgrade. The procurement is to purchase “best value” services involving office 365, Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) web filtering and monitoring, Anti-Virus and an optional support desk, for about 135 member schools in Medway and Kent. The services would need to be maintained to meet statutory requirements, and also to continue the high-quality expectations from members. The present services need to meet specific KPI’s, and this will continue. The Contract is anticipated to commence on 01 April 2027 and will continue for a period of 36 months with an option to extend for a further period of 12 months unless terminated in accordance with the Conditions of Contract.

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 set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 72 | 5,086 | 1 median · 11.9 average (1,779 of 5,086 with a bid count) | 1.8 average (2,090 of 5,086 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 0 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKJ41 | 0 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 334 | 3.5 median · 4.3 average (6 of 334 with a bid count) | 1 average (6 of 334 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.
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.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.
Diagnostic view. “Not published” means this current release does not provide a value.
