What is being bought

The potential competitive process associated with this Notice is supported by the PEACEPLUS programme, managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB). The requirement relates to the potential procurement of a range of professional services to support drilling of geothermal boreholes and the Installation of heat pumps at NIHEs Cloughfern site. This work aims to facilitate a ground source heat pump system and demonstrate how this emerging technology can be used to heat residential properties. Should a competition proceed, full details of the scope will be set out in the procurement documents, which will be made available on eTendersNI. On 5th November 2025 a Prior Information Notice was published in the Official Journal of the European Union relating to this requirement, Notice Publication Number: 733404 - 2025, OJ S Issue Number: 213/2025.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Geological consultancy services (71351220); 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 714,6604 median · 30.2 average (1,450 of 4,660 with a bid count)4 average (1,597 of 4,660 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer7Not publishedNot publishedNot published
Delivery region: UKN0D615 median · 30.8 average (4 of 6 with a bid count)3.6 average (5 of 6 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.
