What is being bought

Trinity House intends to run a procurement process to address the consolidated battery requirements across the GLAs, with the aim of establishing a four year framework agreement for the supply of Lead-Acid, GEL (VRLA) and AGM (VRLA) and Lithium batteries to the GLAs, including all specified battery interconnections, racking and lifting boxes, as required. The Framework Agreement will also address battery preparation services, in order to ensure that the published performance of the batteries is achieved. At this time the tender is due to be run for the battery requirements of Trinity House and Northern Lighthouse Board, with a clause to allow Irish Lights to utilise the framework agreement if and when legal compliance allows.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 31. The category anchor is Batteries (31440000); 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 312,7195 median · 49.4 average (954 of 2,719 with a bid count)5.7 average (1,138 of 2,719 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.
