Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 31. The category anchor is Fuel cells (31122100); 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 312,7185 median · 49.4 average (953 of 2,718 with a bid count)5.7 average (1,136 of 2,718 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 rationaleThe technical reasons to pursue this JNCA comprise of two, these are a follows: 1. Requirement of a G99 approved export facility – The G99 is the regulation surrounding the connection of any form of generator device to run 'in parallel' or 'synchronised' with the mains electrical utility grid (National Grid). Any facility installed would need to be approved and certified before connection. The JNCA proposed facility has such a certification to allow for connection, therefore, enabling the demonstrator to fulfil the project objectives. 2. Requirement for the facility to fit within the space allocation of 2.5M X 2.5M as prescribed by the planning application – The JNCA proposed facility can satisfy the installation space constraints, therefore complying with the legal stipulations of the determination. For the avoidance of doubt this was the only supplier that could meet the space allocation stipulation.
Rationale classificationsThe works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons
