Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 50. The category anchor is Repair and maintenance services (50000000); 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 508,1834 median · 21.7 average (3,324 of 8,183 with a bid count)3.1 average (3,767 of 8,183 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UKC3288 median · 117.3 average (84 of 328 with a bid count)4.4 average (104 of 328 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 method rationaleThe framework has already been officially published under Find a Tender by the framework provider UKUPC :Framework for High Value Laboratory Equipment (LAB3162 NW) - Lot 2 - X-Ray, Imaging, Elemental & Micro Analysis Equipment and Microscopy Instruments including Associated Equipment, Accessories, Consumables, Maintenance and Servicing of Equipment. The framework allows that we can direct award to another supplier that is not the highest scoring where you have a legitimate business related justification, In this situation, as only this supplier can deliver the required service, this serves as a valid justification.
