What is being bought

For the avoidance of doubt the provisions of the Procurement Act 2024 do not apply to this procurement.<br/><br/>The reason for this notice is to ensure that the 'Publish the intention to Award Notice' as part of the Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2024 is met.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Medical imaging services (85150000); 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 8536,8051 median · 20.3 average (21,813 of 36,805 with a bid count)1.8 average (23,387 of 36,805 with named award suppliers)10 comparable price pairs

“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.
