What is being bought

Electro Cardiograms (ECGs) are currently one of the diagnostic tools used by clinicians to manage patients with suspected cardiovascular problems. In Walsall and Dudley, some practices have been provided with ECG machines by Broomwell Healthwatch Ltd and use the Provider's ECG interpretation service. The service offers GPs access to quick, expert, clinician interpretation of adult ECGs. In addition, the Holter interpretation service gives access to diagnostic tools for patients complaining of palpitations. The ICB intends to award this contract via Direct Award Process C. The total value of the contract is £164,494.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Health services (85100000); 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 8523,9801 median · 26.9 average (12,593 of 23,980 with a bid count)1.9 average (13,738 of 23,980 with named award suppliers)10 comparable price pairs

“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.
