What is being bought

The Christie Proton Beam Therapy service will be looking to replace its Pre-treatment CT scanner and MR scanner in the next few years. As a national service, we would like to invite manufacturers to pre procurement discussions to help the Trust formulate a specification and see what current technology is available. This would involve presentations and discussions around current systems and possible future systems that fit our timeline.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 33. The category anchor is Magnetic resonance scanners (33113100); 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 set	Procedures	Reported bids per procedure	Named award suppliers	Price evidence
Market: CPV division 33	2,057	2 median · 95.5 average (738 of 2,057 with a bid count)	6.1 average (858 of 2,057 with named award suppliers)	Not published
Same buyer	1	Not published	Not published	Not published
Delivery region: UKD36	1	Not published	Not published	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.
