Specialist analytical services

To provide specialist analytical services of solids, liquids and gases collected during the course of the Coal Authority's investigations, studies, trials and test work. This is taken to include, but not be limited to, materials/solid characterisation (such as XRF, XRD, sorption profiles, etc.), NORM analysis, radon analysis, rare element analysis, microscopy, microbiology, biochemical analysis, rock thermal property analysis, rock core analysis (including imaging, geophysics fracture mapping), specialist analysis of environment water tracers, as well as other novel analysis techniques as required. It is expected that laboratories on the framework will specialise in only some of these services individually but will have demonstrable prior experience in delivering such services. This will include responsibility for making arrangements to transport samples from their collection location to the laboratory under any required storage conditions.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 38. The category anchor is Geological and geophysical instruments (38200000); 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.
