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 requires a universal cylindrical grinding machine that is suited to the wide-ranging geometries of components to be manufactured, in a large variety of engineering materials and appropriate for efficient use in producing bespoke parts as one-offs or in very low batch quantities. In addition to a high level of flexibility in accommodating part geometries, materials and manufacturing strategies the machine must be capable of high roundness accuracy with live spindle grinding of better than 0.0003mm and grinding straightness of 0.0025 over the 650mm stoke (or better). This supplier, Fritz Studer AG, provides published data for performance that meet the required accuracy levels with a machine fully appropriate for the bespoke one-off nature of work to be undertaken, in an non-CNC machine format. Manufacturers of quality cylindrical grinding machines have changed their offerings to mainly full CNC machines, the full CNC machine style does not meet our needs for flexibility and efficient production of one off components.
Rationale classificationsThe products involved are manufactured purely for the purpose of research, experiment, study or development under the conditions stated in the directive, The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons

    "procurementMethodRationale": "NPL requires a universal cylindrical grinding machine that is suited to the wide-ranging geometries of components to be manufactured, in a large variety of engineering materials and appropriate for efficient use in producing bespoke parts as one-offs or in very low batch quantities.  In addition to a high level of flexibility in accommodating part geometries, materials and manufacturing strategies the machine must be capable of high roundness accuracy with live spindle grinding of better than 0.0003mm and grinding straightness of 0.0025 over the 650mm stoke (or better).\nThis supplier, Fritz  Studer AG,  provides published  data for performance that meet the required accuracy levels with a machine fully appropriate for the bespoke one-off nature of work to be undertaken,  in an non-CNC machine format.  Manufacturers of quality cylindrical grinding machines have changed their offerings to mainly full CNC machines, the full CNC machine style does not meet our needs for flexibility and efficient production of one off components.",
