Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 38. The category anchor is Electronic meters (38552000); 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 382,9922 median · 12 average (1,388 of 2,992 with a bid count)2.6 average (1,589 of 2,992 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.

SSE Airtricity Gas Supply (NI) Limited.\nNot all of the clients shall require all of the Supplies/ Services referred to in the above Lots. The clients’ potential purchase requirements are anticipated to be as follows:\n•\tLot 1: all 3 Network Operators\n•\tLot 2: all 3 Network Operators and both Gas Suppliers. Due to applicable data protection requirements, it is however anticipated that the Network Operators and Gas Suppliers will require different functionality from the Meter Management/Data Collection System.\n•\tLot 3: both Gas Suppliers only.\nApplicants are permitted to apply for one or more (or any combination of) Lots. It is the clients’ intention, following conclusion of the tender process, to appoint a single supplier (whether a consortium or a single legal entity) to each Lot. The clients reserve the right however to terminate the tender process for all or any Lots, at any time, at their discretion. Applicants wishing to be considered, must first complete a Pre-qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) which - amongst other criteria - will require them to state which Lot they are interested in tendering for. Only those Applicants that successfully pass the PQQ stage shall be invited to complete the relevant tender documentation.\nThis framework agreement is being procured competitively in accordance with the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 (as amended). The procedure to be followed for this procurement is the negotiated procedure. The costs of responding to this notice and participation in the process will be borne by each participating entity. All discussions and correspondence will be deemed strictly subject to contract until a formal contract is entered into. Any subsequent formal contract(s) shall not be binding until they have been signed and dated by the duly authorised representatives of each of the participating parties.  \nNote also additional text to para. III.1.4) which is continued here due to limitations in text space at previous section:\nWhilst Phoenix reserves the right to terminate the tender process for all or any Lot(s) or award a contract for each of the Lot(s) at different times at its discretion, it is currently anticipated that, to ensure the viability of the overall project, any contracts for each of the Lots will most likely be awarded at the same time.",
