What is being bought

The tender was for a UX Layer to allow us to create a seamless student journey from Enquirer through to graduation. Our vision is to create a seamless, connected, optimised and personalised journey, that is automated wherever possible. To do this we want to combine our different websites and services to create one continuous, easy to use student journey. To reach this end goal, we require a UX layer capable of delivering our mixed media content. This will be a cloud-based solution (SaaS). It will be hosted in the cloud and consistent with OU policies around architecture and security. The solution should provide a safe and secure platform for students and OU staff to use and collaborate and be able to publish information from a headless content store. The OU is only purchasing the software and implementation services are not required. The contract is for an initial period of 5 years and may be extended by the OU for further periods up to a maximum of 15 years in total.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 48. The category anchor is Internet browsing software package (48221000); 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 486,8361 median · 9.6 average (2,487 of 6,836 with a bid count)1.7 average (2,926 of 6,836 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.

It will be hosted in the cloud and consistent with OU policies around architecture and security.   The solution should provide a safe and secure platform for students and OU staff to use and collaborate and be able to publish information from a headless content store.
