Lot details

Lot 1

The University of York requires an upgrade to an existing Union Biometrica BioSorter, consisting of a 1000 μm Fluid and Optics Core Assembly (FOCA) and a 445nm laser. The upgrade from a 500 μm FOCA to include a 445nm laser will enable the instrument to detect AmCyan fluorescence, when coupled with two other lasers, and to enable the detection of multiple transgenes allowing mosquitoes and slightly larger BSL L1 larvae to be sampled. Also required is an extended 3-year warranty covering the original instrument and the required upgrades.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 38. The category anchor is Analysers (38434000); 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.
