What is being bought

HSE require a 3" vent stack for use with cryogenic hydrogen for an experimental programme. The vent must have interchangeable terminations (miter cut, bullhorn, lambda) which may be on a flanged connection or otherwise joined. The vent stack should be 4 m tall and terminate in a 3" ANSI Class 300 flange. 0.5 m from the top there should be two bosses with ¼" BSP female fittings and another boss with a 7/16" UNJF female fitting. The vent stack must have a maximum allowable working pressure of 40 barg. The vent stack should have a manual drain valve at the bottom of the stack which is spring loaded (normally closed). 1.5 m from the bottom of the vent stack should be a 3" ANSI flange connection and a 1½" ANSI flange connection. Both these flanges must be Class 300. The vent should come with 3 interchangeable termination designs which are on 3" ANSI Class 300 flanges to attach to the top of the vent stack. Suitable gaskets and torque values/calculations for all flanges should be provided. See In-tend for full requirements

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 44. The category anchor is Pipeline, piping, pipes, casing, tubing and related items (44160000); 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.

“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.
