What is being bought

The aim of this work is to directly engage with suppliers and to assess whether the energy suppliers in the market are technically ready to support this policy and offer these services to the end, non-domestic consumer, and to provide recommendations for BEIS on how to support the market to be ready.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 73. The category anchor is Research and development services and related consultancy services (73000000); 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

“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.

This will be part of the phased approach to addressing and detecting miscalculation, gaming and fraud-management in the EBRS scheme.
