What is being bought

UKHSA is refreshing its current strategic plan (2023-26), with a new 10-year vision and 3-year corporate strategy, with the aim of articulating its future strategic aims and priorities over a longer-term period. UKHSA would like to find an external firm to partner with us on UKHSA’s business design - to ensure our business is set up to deliver both now and in the future; and remains ‘operationally excellent’. UKHSA invites suppliers to complete the questionnaire, included in the Preliminary Market Engagement Notice, to offer insights and help us refine our procurement approach ahead of a possible Invitation to Tender. Full details are in the Preliminary Market Engagement Notice and questionnaire https://atamis-1928.my.salesforce.com/sfc/p/0O000000rwim/a/Pz00000IEuUb/o5QsZWTOabXhmDQwEUqmdmea3Qsfeg4KGZfBXJT8RBY

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Business and management consultancy services (79410000); 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 795,3513 median · 33.8 average (1,657 of 5,351 with a bid count)3.2 average (1,853 of 5,351 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UK1,5124 median · 63.4 average (461 of 1,512 with a bid count)5.5 average (542 of 1,512 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)5404 median · 6.8 average (25 of 540 with a bid count)1.2 average (25 of 540 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.
