What is being bought

The contract is for acquiring supplies from the supplier (Curtiss-Wright) to prevent difficulties in operation and maintenance of the Curtiss-Wright radiometric support equipment, ensuring the supplies used are that of the suppliers own equipment (to which the supplier has the Intellectual Property Rights and patents) so that:<br/><br/>- The Radiometric protective equipment is correct and is part of a set of pre-approved type tested equipment which has been evaluated and considered fit and safe for the intended purpose.<br/><br/>- The spares in use meet a predetermined specification which matches the equipment outlined above. As the OEM, the supplier is required to ensure that their spares continue to meet that specification.<br/><br/>The supplier retains the intellectual property rights (IPR) for the Radiometric Protection Instruments, restricting the ability of another economic operator to provide the supplies.

Lot details

Lot 1

The contract was awarded to the supplier (Curtiss-Wright) to maintain an ongoing supply of pre-approved spares and consumables to maintain the most robust and safe use of the Curtiss-Wright equipment. The contract will enable the supplier to continuously support the timely supply of the correct spares required.<br/><br/>As the supplier retains Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) this restricts the ability of another economic operator to provide the supplies and ensure the safe operation and maintenance of Curtiss-Wright equipment on site. Additional information: The service provider retains the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) relating to Regulation 32(2)(b)(iii) PCR 2015 (the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights). Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) PCR 2015 (competition is absent for technical reasons) also applies. Regulation 32(5)(b) PCR 2015 also applies.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 35. The category anchor is Nuclear safety equipment (35113210); 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 352,5013 median · 37.7 average (943 of 2,501 with a bid count)4 average (1,094 of 2,501 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 strategy & market signals

Framework agreementNot published

Competitive procurementNot published
Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleThe service provider retains the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) for the supplies, and would restrict the ability of another economic operator to provide the supplies, with justification for contract award on the grounds of Regulation 32(2)(b)(iii) PCR 2015 (the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights). Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) PCR 2015 (competition is absent for technical reasons) also applies.<br/><br/>Regulation 32(5)(b) PCR 2015 also applies (for additional deliveries by the original supplier which are intended either as a partial replacement of supplies or installations or as the extension of existing supplies or installations where a change of supplier would oblige the contracting authority to acquire supplies having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance).
