Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 51. The category anchor is Installation services of laboratory equipment (51430000); 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 511,9315 median · 35.9 average (685 of 1,931 with a bid count)5.9 average (745 of 1,931 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.

Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleDefence Science & Technology Laboratory (DSTL) intends to place a four month contract with Agilent Technologies LDA UK Ltd for the supply, delivery and set up of Benchtop Liquid Chromotography instrument with single quadruple combined with a Time of Flight mass spectrometer detector (LC-QTOF). In accordance with the provisions of The Public Procurement (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 SI No. 2020/1319, this procurement falls to be regulated under the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 as amended (in particular by SI 2020/1319). 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 the contract without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service (in accordance with the relevant legislation) is lawful in accordance with regulation 32(b)(ii) of the PCR 2015 because competition is absent for technical reasons. The analytical Chemical and Biological Analysis and Attribution Capability (CBAAC). CBAAC is a pan-HMG sovereign capability delivered through DSTL. The capability utilises complex analytical techniques to identify and attribute chemical and biological agents, materials and weapons samples (collectively, Chemical, Biological Warfare agents), originating from within the UK and abroad, in support of HMG interests. In the event of requiring operational sample analysis, the Organisation of the Prohibition of Chemical Warfare (OPCW) would require rapid Analysis and Attribution, United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) methodology and processes, the laboratory standard, would be required for the analysis, quality control, review and issue of data. The LC-QTOF Instrument is required for UKAS accredited procedures that operate to the ISO17025 standard. The provision of the equipment from this particular vendor is required for scientific continuity purposes. To acquire a similar platform technology from a different vendor would make it impossible to compare back to previous legacy data sets which is often required as part of the quality system - demonstrating the robustness of technique – and is essential in order to maintain UKAS accreditation.
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
