What is being bought

The Contracting authority seeks to inform the market of its intention to commence a procurement process by early 2025, to establish a Framework for a range of characterisation services. <br/><br/>Access to characterisation services is required to support the provision of relevant information about the physical, chemical and radiochemical properties of wastes and other materials. <br/><br/>It is anticipated that the Framework services include but are not limited to; laboratory analysis, fingerprint services and additional characterisation services, such as technical consulting, across up to 4 lots; <br/><br/>Lot 1 - Analytical Laboratory Services (excluding ILW samples requiring specialist facilities due to higher radioactivity levels) - (single provider lot) <br/>Lot 2- Fingerprint Services - (single provider lot)<br/>Lot 3- Laboratory Services – (multi provider lot)<br/>Lot 4 -Additional Characterisation Services - (multi provider lot)<br/><br/>Anticipated Framework is to support Nuclear Restoration Services (NRS) requirements. Access to some NDA OpCos is also possible via multi provider lots, (whilst it is envisaged that usage outside of NRS will be limited)

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 90. The category anchor is Radioactive-, toxic-, medical- and hazardous waste services (90520000); 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 907,3815 median · 18 average (3,195 of 7,381 with a bid count)3 average (3,443 of 7,381 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UK1,3575 median · 45 average (535 of 1,357 with a bid count)6.2 average (583 of 1,357 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.
