Coverage: 83 active published awards; 79 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

Procedure rationaleBased on the information detailed below, and publication of a VEAT Notice on 18/03/2024, it was concluded that Checkit Europe Ltd is the only supplier able to meet APHA's requirements.<br/><br/>Checkit Europe Ltd own the IPR to the equipment and software provided to / accessed by APHA under the current contract. Further investigation has confirmed that there are no re-sellers of CAM+ Equipment providing related temperature monitoring services (so a restricted competition amongst current distributors would not be a valid route to market). <br/><br/>To enable connection between the Equipment and Supplier software, a new supplier would have to install their own Equipment to APHA laboratories, which links to their own software package. This would involve replacing approximately 824 items of Equipment across the APHA estate.<br/><br/>To unnecessarily remove and replace functioning Equipment would not only be a considerable expense and have a negative sustainability impact but would also, critically, have a significant and unacceptably disruptive effect on business-as-usual APHA scientific activities across the whole laboratory estate. (This would include containment facilities that can only be accessed by maintenance personnel during planned shutdowns, which only happen once per year.) |
