Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 38. The category anchor is Mass spectrometer (38433100); 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 382,9932 median · 12 average (1,387 of 2,993 with a bid count)2.6 average (1,589 of 2,993 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 strategy & market signals

Framework agreementNot published
Dynamic purchasing systemNot published
Competitive procurementNot published
Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleCefas required a single high resolution accurate mass instrument to maintain and enhance the capability of Cefas’ specialist ultra-trace chemical contaminants determination in the marine environment. To support existing process, the capability must enable the screening of samples for a wide number of targeted (regulated) hazardous substances, but importantly non-targeted chemicals of emerging concern (CECs) and the characterisation of unknown substances within complex mixtures with maximum confidence. It was identified that the Orbitrap Exploris 120 mass detector is most suitable, as it offers features based on unique orbitrap technology and continuous mass calibration which enables stable accurate mass and high resolution that is unrivalled by other vendors. Uniquely, it can run full trace-quantitative analysis routinely at up to 120,000 mass resolution (@ m/z 200) in full scan, whilst maintaining sensitivity, and if necessary performing polarity switching, with no compromise on mass accuracy, resolution, or sensitivity. The Exploris 120 can also be run with Thermo Scientific™ EASY-IC™ ion source which generates internal calibrant ions for real-time mass calibration of any mass spectrum, with sub ppm mass accuracy for at least 5 days. These combined features are unique and enhances confidence for both targeted and non-targeted work, in avoiding false positives and negatives, whilst supporting existing equipment and processes.
