What is being bought

This MEN aims to gather information from potential suppliers on solutions and capabilities in relation to the provision of a Moveable Nuclear Shielding Concept Design Study. This is not a request for quotation but a preliminary stage to assess the market. Suppliers responding to this MEN will have the opportunity to contribute insights that may shape the final tender requirements. All answers and correspondence will be used for market sounding purposes only and will be treated confidentially. Any supplier that chooses to not respond to this MEN will not exclude themselves from any subsequent procurement for this workstream. UKFE may invite interested suppliers to attend a Q&A/discussion session. Suppliers will need to confirm that they wish to participate by indicating this within the questionnaire and submitting this via Delta as directed.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Engineering services (71300000); 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 716,2154 median · 32.2 average (2,195 of 6,215 with a bid count)4.2 average (2,437 of 6,215 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UK1,4054 median · 74.1 average (459 of 1,405 with a bid count)7.3 average (529 of 1,405 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)3404 median · 4 average (2 of 340 with a bid count)1 average (2 of 340 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.
