What is being bought

This camera/software is to be used on a high heat flux test facility, looking at metallic samples that are induction heated to the stated temperature range. The sample will be in a vacuum vessel and viewed by the camera via a window. The wavelength range comes from the window the camera must see through, although the window could be changed. A set of requirements has also been generated and attached to this notice, it is requested that interested organisations respond through acknowledging whether they can meet the set out requirements via an excel spreadsheet. the value for this piece is an estimation, and the project team would like to use this PMEN to gauge a rough value for the project from responses. responses should be formatted as excel spreadsheets outlining whether or not your company can meet the requirements set out in the attached specifications document. additionally if you feel like you can meet the requirement in a different way, please also state this.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 38. The category anchor is Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) (38000000); 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.
