Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 38. The category anchor is Instruments for measuring flow, level and pressure of liquids and gases (38420000); 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.

“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.

The University proposes to enter into a contract of up to 6 years with the successful tenderer.\nThis will comprise of a warranty period of 2 years following an estimated delivery lead time of 12 months. There will then be the option to extend the warranty and servicing by a further 3-year period subject to the discretion of the University.\nThe contract will be effecting on signing. The term of the warranty will run for 2 years from the date of the acceptance of the goods by the University.\nThe estimated value of the contract is £2,300,000.00 GBP excluding VAT. Whilst tenderers are expected to provide a tender that falls within this budget, for the benefit of doubt, the University reserves the right to automatically exclude any tenderers whose tender exceeds this figure. All related components, delivery, installation, commissioning, training, services and warranties MUST be included within the proposal. \nThe total estimated value of this contract takes into account the estimated value of extending the service and maintenance contract up to an additional three years.\nDetails of current expenditure or potential future uptake are given as a guide based on past purchasing and current planning to assist you in the preparation of your Tender. They should not be interpreted as an undertaking to purchase any goods or services to any value and do not form part of the Contract. Additional information: This contract is NOT suitable for splitting into lots. The risk of dividing the requirement into Lots would render the execution of the contract excessively technically difficult, not cost effective and would undermine proper execution of the contract.",
