Lot details

Lot 1

Following desktop research, only one possible supplier was found that are able to cover Torus' requirements of: * 1,500 samples per month, * with a 24-48hr turnaround, * based in our area of operation (Merseyside/North West). This was followed by an open Soft Market Test in December 2023. Whilst we did recieve one reply, they were unable to meet our capacity requirements. Therefore, we propose to award a 2 year contract to the only supplier we can identify who can meet our requirements - North Star Enviromental Ltd.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 70. The category anchor is Housing services (70333000); 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 701,6063 median · 36.3 average (523 of 1,606 with a bid count)3.7 average (608 of 1,606 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UKD926 median · 53.8 average (23 of 92 with a bid count)9.2 average (33 of 92 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.
