Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 31. The category anchor is Electricity distribution and control apparatus (31200000); 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.

“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.

This integration ensures that disparate components work seamlessly together, enabling efficient data acquisition, monitoring, control, alarming, and logging across regional SCADA systems.\nWe will award multiple suppliers for this lot with a target of 15-25 suppliers who will be responsible for the required works with no guaranteed volume. Work packages will generally be awarded under the terms of the agreement via direct award by Thames Water or mini-competitions directly by Thames Water with works under £429000 being directly awarded to a preferred supplier without competition. Packages of work may involve being allocated to a nominated Thames Water contractor.",
