What is being bought

UHB intends to engage a service provider for implementing and deploying a cost-effective market leading Network Detection & Response Solution across its infrastructure. Delivers an initiative-taking approach to cyber resilience in a single cybersecurity platform, providing pre-emptive visibility into security posture, real-time detection, and recommended response to known and unknown threats traversing the Trust network infrastructure. The solution will allow the Cyber Security Team and Network Teams to respond quickly. With such a disparate network infrastructure we need the solution to monitor and understand network activity to provide visibility and strengthen threat detection. This solution will support UHB cybersecurity resilience, aligned with NHS Digital and NCSC guidance.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is Network management software services (72511000); 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

“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.
