Lot details

Lot 1

Procurement of 20 TimeTech model TIM-10265-4 six-channel phase comparators, each with four 10 MHz to 100 MHz multipliers installed. These are required to measure the phase time differences between clock signals at frequencies of 10 MHz and/or 100 MHz. These instruments should be capable of measuring the signals generated by active hydrogen masers without introducing additional noise.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 38. The category anchor is Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) (38000000); 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.

Procurement strategy & market signals

Framework agreementNot published
Dynamic purchasing systemNot published
Competitive procurementNot published
Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleNPL are only aware of one commercially available model of phase comparator that meets all technical requirements and is CE-compliant. TimeTech phase comparators were previously procured for a bespoke NPL project. Additional phase comparators are required for the same project. Purchasing the additional phase comparators from a different supplier would result in significant differences in both the hardware configuration and the operational software between different parts of the project. This would result in non-compliance to the requirement for the design of the project to be the same as far as practical.
