What is being bought

This project is to procure a replacement franking machine for the NCHA main head office in Clifton, Nottingham. The current contract is due to expire this year and the existing machine no longer meets business needs; despite a broader move toward digital communication, a machine remains essential for legal documents and recorded delivery, with relatively low usage of around 750 items per month.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 30. The category anchor is Office machinery, equipment and supplies except computers, printers and furniture (30100000); 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.

The current contract is due to expire this year and the existing machine no longer meets business needs; despite a broader move toward digital communication, a machine remains essential for legal documents and recorded delivery, with relatively low usage of around 750 items per month.",
