Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 34. The category anchor is Surveillance boats (34521100); 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.

“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.

Competitive procurementNot published
Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleThe Boats Team, part of the UK Ministry of Defence (“the Authority”) intends to extend the existing Contract CCS/0106 with Salterns Marina for a period of 24 months, at a total cost of up to £1.5M ex VAT. The current Contract runs to 31 Mar 24 and provides support for Tactical Watercraft through the procurement and upkeep of Spares, Repairs, and Post Design Service (PDS) Tasks for Support Equipment (SE). It is considered that the contract can be extended using the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice pursuant to Regulation 16(1)(d)(i)(aa) of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011: It has been deemed necessary to extend the existing service for technical reasons in addition to the fact to compete the requirement at this time would cause significant disruption to Mod Operations. Due to the complexity of the TWC contract and the registered designs for “Tactical Water Craft” held by Salterns Marina, it would not be strategically wise or economically advantageous to recompete this support requirement for a 2 year period at this time, as: a) Salterns Marina has been deemed the only economic operator with access to current technical designs, which form part of the Tactical Watercraft which provide operational continuity for MoD Operations. The loss of Salterns Marina technical designs if awarded to another economic operator, could have safety and operational implications on the end user if sufficient design information and SQEP is not available to maintain existing equipment. Salterns Marina expertise is essential to maintain the elements of the craft which are added to convert the base model Personal Water Craft in to the Tactical Water Craft operated MoD Forces. These modifications are TWC specific and are part of the UK design held by Salterns Marina via the Intellectual Property Office. These modifications greatly improve the performance and capability of the standard craft and are essential to MoD operations. b) Competing the capability at this time may introduce a mixed configuration fleet, which is essential to avoid at this time for operational purposes. Operating a mixed configuration fleet would cause issues at User/Unit level with regards to spares, training, documentation etc. When MoD Forces deploy, they are generally limited to how much equipment can be deployed because of restrictions on the ship or aircraft. Running a mixed fleet would require two distinct sets of spares to support Ops, possibly restricting other equipment that can be taken. Additionally, extra training would be required for end Users to enable them to make effective running repairs in the field and different supporting documentation would have to be carried. This would be difficult for MoD units to manage at reach in certain regions where they are forward deployed. c) The lack of rights we have to use information about the TWC in order to compete for its manufacture could cause an increase in development costs and potentially leave the Authority with an unsupported platform until these issues are overcome.
