Lot details

Lot 1

The Department for Energy Security & Net Zero is looking to procure a licence to use a power sector model (including access to standardised data sets). This model would be a replacement for the Dynamic Dispatch Model that the Department currently uses for both strategic analysis, that is, quantifying the collective impacts of all existing and planned policies, and analysis on specific policies or changes in the power sector.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Energy and related services (71314000); 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 718,4824 median · 28.9 average (3,269 of 8,482 with a bid count)4 average (3,594 of 8,482 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.
