Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 50. The category anchor is Calibration services (50433000); 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 509,2274 median · 22.4 average (3,784 of 9,227 with a bid count)3.3 average (4,301 of 9,227 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 rationaleAn upgrade to the Gamma Calibration Facility (GCF) on the Dounreay site is required to maintain site capability for calibration of radiological protection instrumentation. The facility is an ageing asset and is unsupported from hardware and software perspectives. <br/><br/>The site GCF is operating at risk of significant failure. An interim upgrade will minimise the risk of failure until a new system is purchased and installed. If the GCF fails, a significant amount of site operations will be halted due to the unavailability of calibrated Radiological Protection Instrumentation such as Electronic Personal Dosimeters and Health Physics Monitoring Equipment.<br/><br/>The identified supplier is the only UK supplier with the capability / knowledge to carry out the upgrade. The supplier currently maintains the system and is the only practicable source to provide the service.
