Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is Development of software for military applications (72231000); 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 (4,163 of 10,539 with a bid count)2 average (5,055 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.

The estimated total value of the procurement is between £25,000,000.00 and £50,000,000.00 with a Contract duration of three (3) years with two Option year extensions taking the total maximum duration to five (5) years (option years taken into account with estimated procurement value).\nThis procurement is not regulated by regulation 4 of The Defence and Security Public Contracts (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/697) and is not within scope of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 as amended (in particular by SI 2019/697 and SI 2020/1450). Prior publication of a Contract Notice in the Official Journal of the European Union is not appropriate. It is considered that the award of the Contract without prior publication of a Contract Notice in the UK e-notification service (in accordance with the relevant legislation) is lawful as the decision to do so is reasonable and justified as a matter of public law. This is on the basis that if even in the event that the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 were to apply, a competition would not be required on the following basis. In accordance with Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii), of the DSPCR 2011 on the basis that the TIKAL Stage 3 activities are inextricably linked to the activities taken place on all preceding TIKAL Contracts due to the continuing requirement for maintenance, further refinement and additional R&D of the PYRAMID solution and only the supplier has the necessary tools, test bench rig, know-how and expertise in relation to the PYRAMID solution and is able to design, develop and integrate the technical solution without introducing an unacceptable level of risk in relation to safety requirements, security requirements, accreditation and compatibility.",
