Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 63. The category anchor is Storage and warehousing services (63120000); 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.

“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.

They must be transported and stored at below -20°C.<br/><br/>The vehicles and storage facility must be temperature mapped and an audit trail must be retained for the cold chain.<br/><br/>The pallets require collection from each manufacturing site, at a frequency determined by the production capacity at each site, and delivery to a single storage location ready for loading onto the collection vehicle of a 3rd party known as a fractionator. <br/><br/>The exact capacity of storage required will be confirmed in the specification. Indicatively, it is expected to be in the range of 500-1000 pallets. <br/><br/>The following contracting authorities will be able to purchase against the resulting Framework Agreement: Welsh Blood Service, Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service and Northern Ireland Blood Transfusion Service.",
