Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 33. The category anchor is Laboratory reagents (33696500); 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 set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 33 | 4,854 | 2 median · 122.5 average (2,278 of 4,854 with a bid count) | 5.8 average (2,723 of 4,854 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 10 | 1 median · 1.9 average (7 of 10 with a bid count) | 1 average (10 of 10 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKC22 | 16 | 1 median · 1 average (7 of 16 with a bid count) | 1 average (13 of 16 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.
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.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.
No documents are published in the current source record.
Diagnostic view. “Not published” means this current release does not provide a value.

"procurementMethodRationale": "The instrument Genetics have is the MassARRAY4 from Agena Bioscience. It is the only mass spectrometer instrument that is able to utilise the difference in mass between each of the bases which form DNA . This allows us to rapidly detect changes in patients DNA which may affect cancer treatments. We used end point PCR to amplify regions of DNA before using a single base extension method to detect the single base changes in DNA. This instrument differs to the traditional Mass spec systems used in microbiology which enable the detection of micro-organisms dependant on their mass. We therefore require the instrument and the reagents for use in order to maintain our rapid clinical delivery of results. Only Agena reagents & consumables can be used with this instrument. The UKHSA National Microbiology Framework was used for this procurement, which allows for direct award.",
