Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 39. The category anchor is Teaching supplies (39162110); 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 392,7356 median · 49.7 average (1,269 of 2,735 with a bid count)5.7 average (1,377 of 2,735 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.

Procurement strategy & market signals

Framework agreementNot published
Dynamic purchasing systemNot published
Competitive procurementNot published
Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleThe purchase is for high quality scientific hardware for teaching, linked with a cloud-based learning platform. The platform is populated with high quality, ready to use teaching content. Importantly, where the content does not match what we currently teach, or is absent, we have full editorial rights so can add or edit as required. Therefore, we can enhance the quality and quantity of the practical experiences our student cohort currently benefits from in the lab – and away from it. This is the only company that currently offers a cloud-based, GDPR compliant, learning platform with this combination of features. This purchase is in fact a follow-on subscription; there is no practical alternative to this platform and even if there were, given the University’s investment in developing the content, the switching costs would be prohibitive.
