Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 31. The category anchor is Electronic equipment (31710000); 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 312,7235 median · 49.4 average (954 of 2,723 with a bid count)5.7 average (1,141 of 2,723 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UKK1279 median · 44.7 average (31 of 127 with a bid count)5.9 average (44 of 127 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 method rationaleDefence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL), which is part of the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence, intends to award a contract to Keysight Technologies UK Limited (the Supplier) for the supply of MXG X-Series Microwave Analogue Signal Generators, PXA Signal Analysers, Infiniium MXR-Series Real-Time Oscilloscopes and Remote Support (the Contract). The estimated total value of the Contract is £391,000 (ex VAT) and the term of the Contract is 1 year. It is considered that the Contract can be awarded to the Supplier using the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice pursuant to Article 32(3)(b) of Directive 2014/24/EU (Regulation 32(5)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 102)) in respect of additional deliveries by the Supplier. The Supplier is the original manufacturer of existing equipment and a change of supplier would oblige the DSTL to acquire supplies having different technical characteristics which would result in incompati¬bility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance.
Rationale classificationsThe works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons
