Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 34. The category anchor is Survey vessels (34513550); 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 344,5603 median · 24 average (1,842 of 4,560 with a bid count)3.7 average (2,057 of 4,560 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.

Procurement method rationale[‎23/‎01/‎2023 15:32] Davies, Huw Professional II (DES Ships Comrcl-SALMO-2): No Title The Salvage and Marine Operations (SALMO) Team, part of the Ministry of Defence, intends to award a contract to Kongsberg Maritime Ltd (Kongsberg) for the supply of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (UAV) and associated secure operational infrastructure. The contract has an estimated value of £16m and a duration of 3 years.   In accordance with regulation 4 of The Defence and Security Public Contracts (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/697) this contract is regulated under the provisions of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 as amended (by SI 2019/697 and SI 2020/1450).  Prior publication of a contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union is no longer appropriate. It is considered that the award of this contract without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service (as required by the relevant legislation) is lawful in accordance with regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 for technical reasons.   This is because Kongsberg is considered to be the only supplier in the market with a UAV which has the capability to operate at a depth of 6000m for a period of more than 48 hours. It is also a requirement that the new UAV is able to operate interchangeably with two existing UAVs and as part of a wider integrated survey system capable of being installed on any vessel, all elements of which have previously been procured from Kongsberg as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).
Rationale classificationsThe products involved are manufactured purely for the purpose of research, experiment, study or development under the conditions stated in the directive, The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons
