What is being bought

NLB have a requirement for one Charger Cubicle and one Monitoring Control (AtoN RTU) Cubicle to relay information about the lighthouse to NLB HQ. Dunnet Head Lighthouse stands on the 300-foot (91 m) cliff top of Easter Head on Dunnet Head and marks the most northerly point of the Scottish mainland. Only 6.75 miles across the Pentland Firth lies the nearest point of the Orkney Islands. We require the cubicle to be made as per Specification Table below and Specification Drawing Documents listed and included within the quote documentation. We will require a test inspection to be carried out by an NLB representative at the suppliers site on completion. Delivery will be to the NLB Oban depot, Gallanach Road, Oban, PA34 4LS.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 31. The category anchor is Electronic components (31711100); 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

“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.
