Categories
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 set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 72 | 9,413 | 2 median · 14 average (3,702 of 9,413 with a bid count) | 1.9 average (4,454 of 9,413 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 0 | Not published | Not published | 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.

"description": "UKIB is in the process of implementing the Atamis e-Tendering Portal (the \"Portal\"). In the interim the Procurement Documents are being made available via email to procurement@ukib.org.uk.\nHowever, it is anticipated that tender submission will be via the Portal and submission instructions will be confirmed in due course to all suppliers who request the Procurement Documents.\nAll communications shall be in English. Any contract or agreement resulting from this procurement process will be considered a contract made in England according to English Law and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts. \nUKIB does not bind itself to accept any tender and reserves the right to accept any part of the tender unless the tenderer expressly stipulates to the contrary.\nTenderers may offer supplementary services as part of their tender response providing these are connected to the underlying service requirements as described in the Procurement Documents. UKIB reserves the right to purchase such 'optional services' but shall be under no obligation to do so, nor does UKIB give any guarantees in relation to volumes. Nothing shall prevent UKIB from receiving services that are the same or similar to any optional services proposed from any third party.",
