Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 63. The category anchor is Vessel registration services (63726100); 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 636753 median · 9.5 average (159 of 675 with a bid count)3.3 average (186 of 675 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.

Procurement strategy & market signals

Framework agreementNot published
Dynamic purchasing systemNot published
Competitive procurementNot published
Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleIt is possible for other IACS members to quote for the classification services but the age of the fleet presents several challenges. Other providers have been approached, however, they are not interested in Vessels of this age profile as apparently it will bring their age profile of ship classed up which they do not want. The vessels currently carry various memorandum on the Lloyds classification particularly on the engine blocks, which may cause difficulties for transfer of classification should another provider be appointed.
Rationale classificationsThe works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons
