Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 42. The category anchor is Pumps and compressors (42120000); 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 423,0194 median · 51.9 average (1,182 of 3,019 with a bid count)5.9 average (1,275 of 3,019 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 rationaleIn 2007 Star Refrigeration manufactured and installed/commissioned two bespoke roof top chillers at the site. The equipment is now 15 years old and deemed as approaching the end of its 20-year service life. An intrusive review of the equipment by the Department’s appointed Managing Agent for the site in collaboration with Star Refrigeration in 2022 concluded that there is currently no requirement to replace this equipment in its entirety, due to the investment in maintenance that has been provided over the years. However, there is a need for urgent refurbish including the replacement of some of the critical components to safeguard continued operation of the chillers. A direct award to Star Refrigeration is proposed due to ensure compatibility of new/refurbished critical parts with the existing equipment. Given the bespoke nature of the chillers, we believe the timescale required for familiarisation with the bespoke system and the need to purchase Star Refrigeration manufactured components will limit the ability of other chiller manufacturers to make a competitive offer and undertake the work required within an eight to ten week timescale (where the building can rely on free-cooling) to complete the work ahead of the warmer summer months.
