There is a requirement to replace an outdated in house developed time/pressure test kit which currently runs on obsolete software. The replacement kit would ideally be a commercially available of the shelf item and must meet the standards specified in UN manual of tests and criteria for the Time/pressure test: UN Series 1 / Series 2, Test 1 (c) (i) and 2 (c) (i)) and The HSL flash composition test. https://unece.org/transport/standards/transport/dangerous-goods/un-manual-tests-and-criteria-rev8-2023 The equipment must also come with software suitable to extrapolate test results in a user friendly manner, be calibratable and easily maintained on a general basis by HSE-SD's hazardous materials team. The equipment will be used to support the HSE Explosives inspectorates with explosive classification for transport, Incident investigations, market surveillance and research and development projects.

| Item | Category | Quantity |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) | Not published |
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 38. The category anchor is Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) (38000000); 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 set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 38 | 1,021 | 2 median · 10.7 average (338 of 1,021 with a bid count) | 3 average (383 of 1,021 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 20 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 43 | Not published | Not published | 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.
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.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.
Diagnostic view. “Not published” means this current release does not provide a value.
