What is being bought

Industry provides simulation software and methods covering a wide range of capability, deployed across all engineering sectors, much of which will be invaluable for use in the design and operation of fusion reactors in a Fusion energy industry. However, the extent to which existing capability is sufficient to facilitate design and realisation of commercial fusion powerplants is not clearly defined. Industry Simulation Software for Fusion is a multi-year rolling project aiming to define Fusion relevant analysis and simulation case studies and use them as a formal basis to engage industry for evaluation of their simulation software capability and identify development needs. The case studies to be submitted will span the full range of domains relevant to realisation of fusion as an energy source, with a mixture of single and multi-domain scenarios and involving use of a variety of methods and techniques. A total of four case study areas are covered in this procurement exercise.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is Industry specific software development services (72212100); 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 7210,5392 median · 15.4 average (4,163 of 10,539 with a bid count)2 average (5,055 of 10,539 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.
