Coverage: 59 active published awards; 23 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only.

Price reduction compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

    NPL is constructing 4 underground ducts, c. 800m in length and 6m below ground, between the north and south ends of its Teddington Campus. Approximately 50 fibre optic cables and 50 RF cables are required. The work will be let as a two-stage NEC4 design and build contract. During the design phase the contractor will work with NPL scientists to agree the design and specification for the Fibre Optic cables and with the tunnelling contractor to ensure that the ducts are designed to suit these high specification cables. The ducts will be constructed by NPLs tunnelling contractor and on completion the cabling contractor will install, terminate, test, and demonstrate the installation. Additional information: The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is looking to conduct pre-tender market engagement to understand any contractual considerations that will encourage participation. Interested contractors are invited to join a Teams call on Wednesday 5th October 2022 at 2pm. Please secure your place by e-mailing Nick Etherton (nick.etherton@turntown.co.uk) no later than 16:00 on Friday 30th September 2022
