What is being bought

The University is procuring an automated patch clamp system that will support the University’s research objectives. This includes, the ability to make whole cell recordings (voltage clamp and current clamp) in a plate-based assay system (>300 simultaneous recording). Importantly, the system we required will have internal solution exchange capabilities (to study intracellular gating mechanisms), and be able carry out micro bio-sampling to check drug concentrations post-hoc. Finally, the solution enables the flexibility of running one large experiment, or up-to 10 different experiments from one single-use recording chip, unique to this system.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 38. The category anchor is Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) (38000000); 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 382,9922 median · 12 average (1,388 of 2,992 with a bid count)2.6 average (1,588 of 2,992 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.
