The aim of the Price Benchmarking Services Contract is to demonstrate Government's commercial capability and achievements through independent evidence, which is to be provided by a suitable Supplier. The benchmarking exercises will also encourage suppliers to provide the best value for money for the products and/or services they offer in the marketplace, in order to win contracts. The aims and objectives of the Price Benchmarking Services Contract are as follows: So that the Authority can demonstrate the impact of the Government's policy of centralisation in deriving substantial savings; For the Supplier to provide robust and reliable reports demonstrating the value being added by the Authority, thereby improving confidence; For the Supplier to provide an independent view of the value delivered via the Authority's commercial procurement solutions, so ensuring customers are better placed to assess both the value they receive and the Authority's overall performance; For the Authority to demonstrate to customers that it is able to effectively drive down prices so encouraging further and wider use of those commercial procurement solutions available via the Authority; For the Supplier to provide a price comparison between the prices paid via the Authority's commercial procurement solutions against prices paid by companies in the private sector, to provide customers with confidence that they are receiving value for money; and For the Supplier to provide an assessment of how prices paid through the Authority's commercial procurement solutions compare to the market, to allow the Authority to further seek price reductions.
