What is being bought

This Invitation to Tender (ITT) was run by Aberdeenshire Council to procure the services of a Wide Area Network (WAN) Integrator. The Council has previously published a Request for Information (RFI) and a Request for Proposal (RFP) to gain knowledge and information regarding the current state of the market and likely costs that will be associated with appointing a WAN Integrator. The Council operates an extensive LAN and WAN Infrastructure spread over approximately 360 Sites with over 13,000 connected devices. The number of Sites is expected to vary over the duration of the contract. The main cores of this network are in Aberdeen, at Woodhill House and BrightSolid Data Centre, where the main networks terminate on a “hub and spoke” basis. There are currently internet breakouts at these points. The Council’s current network largely comprises a managed radio network and strategic lit (managed) fibres.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is Wide area network services (72720000); 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 (4,162 of 10,539 with a bid count)2 average (5,054 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.
