Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 42. The category anchor is Industrial robots (42997300); 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 423,0194 median · 52 average (1,181 of 3,019 with a bid count)5.9 average (1,275 of 3,019 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer792 median · 2.5 average (19 of 79 with a bid count)1.1 average (21 of 79 with named award suppliers)Not published
Delivery region: UKJ1459 median · 163.7 average (9 of 45 with a bid count)11.2 average (10 of 45 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 rationaleUK AEA requires this manipulator and controller to have a robotic control system which would allow a user-defined servo control, in which current demands to the motor drivers of the robot are calculated by bespoke control algorithms. In this way any proprietary control law implemented by the manufacturer should be overridable by the user-defined one. The controller should also implement a ROS 2 interface to allow real-time exchange of data with third party devices/software through the Data Distribution Service (DDS) protocol.” UK AEA has identified the Comau G5G controller as the only “open” controller on the market in the sense described above. Furthermore, the C5G controller is now ROS-2 compatible, which makes it the best system architecture for DEMO RMTF in the current landscape of industrial controller technology..
