What is being bought

United Utilities are releasing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to fulfil all requirements relating to the 3rd party provision of Process Instrumentation Services across the Company’s estate. The Company operates an extensive range of asset types and manufacturers that requires a varied and flexible supply chain to support Company Personnel in the event of a competency or capacity shortfall. All aspects of Instrumentation Services shall be within scope of this procurement, including but not limited to: servicing, repair, calibration, verification and commissioning. This DPS shall serve as the only route for 3rd party unsupported Services (i.e. Services with no CDM Regulations) in the Instrumentation category.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 50. The category anchor is Repair and maintenance services of measuring, testing and checking apparatus (50410000); 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 502,9563 median · 24.7 average (708 of 2,956 with a bid count)3.4 average (795 of 2,956 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer510 median · 10 average (1 of 5 with a bid count)4 average (4 of 5 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.
