What is being bought

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority has a requirement to expand our Auxiliary Field Power Supplies with the possibility of a full upgrade and expansion. The existing system comprises of: Two modular (x4 Regatron LAB.TC modules each) single-quadrant Regatron rectifiers in two separate cubicles.415V, 3 x 60A input and 32kW output from each sub-module. Options under consideration are upgrading the system to newer modular supplies and expanding from two to four supplies OR the expansion of the system to include two different more modern supplies with the intention to upgrade incrementally over a longer period. The UKAEA seeks market engagement to help inform the process prior to tender.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 31. The category anchor is Power converters (31121110); 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 311,1226 median · 71.1 average (267 of 1,122 with a bid count)6.5 average (310 of 1,122 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.
