Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 24. The category anchor is Oxygen (24111900); 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

“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.

    "description": "His Majesty's Coastguard (HMCG) is a division of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) and is one of the UK’s frontline 999 services. HMCG is responsible for the initiation and coordination of civil maritime search and rescue within the UK Search and Rescue Region (UKSRR). This includes the mobilisation, organisation and tasking of adequate resources to respond to persons either in distress at sea, or to persons at risk of injury or death on the cliffs or shoreline of the UK. \nHM Coastguard delivers 6 Coastguard functions as part of the UK's Coastal State responsibilities:\n•\tSearch and Rescue (SAR)\n•\tPollution Response\n•\tVessel Traffic Management\n•\tMaritime Safety\n•\tMaritime Security\n•\tEmergency and Disaster Management\nThe Coastguard Rescue Service (CRS) forms a key part of this response. The CRS is made up of around 350 Coastguard Rescue Teams (CRTs) located across 11,000 miles of the UK’s coastline. It is available 24/7 operating within the littoral area of the coast and certain designated inland waterways. All CRTs are SAR teams with training and equipment to deliver SAR operations; Casualty Care (first aid, casualty packaging, evacuation, rescue stretchers), Search, Water Safety and Rescue. Where required teams are equipped with additional technical rescue equipment to enable them to perform Rope Rescue and Mud Rescue. \nIn keeping with UK SAR framework and the Civil Contingencies Act 2004, HMCG will also assist other emergency responders inland where practicable. The CRS provides critical support to other emergency services, NHS and communities across the UK through responding to mutual aid requests, for example major cross emergency services incidents, extreme weather, lost, missing and despondent persons, inland flooding and pandemics. The CRS is also integral to the current Maritime & Aviation SAR and Counter Pollution delivery model and is a key part of operational response and business continuity plans.\nHM Coastguard are looking to introduce the provision of medical gases to its national network of Coastguard Rescue Teams and a number of full-time officers.\nParticipants in the market consultation and future procurement should be aware that our current locations include :\n•\tEngland (Including Isle of Wight, Isles of Scilly & Lundy)\n•\tScotland (Including Highlands and Western Isles, Shetland and Orkney)\n•\tNorthern Ireland (including Rathlin Island) \n•\tWales",
