The Business Services Organisation (BSO) Procurement and Logistics Service (PaLS), on behalf of the Northern Ireland Public Health Laboratory (NIPHL) which is part of the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust (BHSCT) within the Health and Social Care Northern Ireland (HSCNI), wish to invite tenders for the supply of a Microbiology Membrane Filtration System. This consists of a single use (ready-to-use) sterile funnel, incorporating a filter. These filters are used to filter 100ml of water using a vacuum pump to capture bacteria on the membrane and then the filter is placed onto agar plates where any bacteria present on the filter will grow.

| Item | Category | Quantity |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses), Detection and analysis apparatus, Laboratory pipettes and accessories, Analysis apparatus, Checking and testing apparatus | Not published |
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 set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 38 | 828 | 2 median · 11 average (243 of 828 with a bid count) | 3.1 average (276 of 828 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 7 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKN0 | 8 | 3 median · 13.3 average (7 of 8 with a bid count) | 3 average (7 of 8 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 70 | 3.5 median · 3.5 average (2 of 70 with a bid count) | 1 average (2 of 70 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.
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.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.
Diagnostic view. “Not published” means this current release does not provide a value.
