Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 33. The category anchor is Artificial parts of the heart (33184300); 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.

“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 rationaleImpella heart pumps provide the unique benefit of unloading the heart while providing coronary perfusion and end organ perfusion. It is a catheter based miniaturised ventricular assist device. No alternative devices exist offering the same technology. It is less invasive than ECMO or VAD, and considerably cheaper.<br/>These devices will be added to the NHSSC VAD framework in 2025. It is anticipated that the Impella CP will be available on the framework contract early 2025, and the 5.5 will be added to HCTED/SSDP by June 2025.
