Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 35. The category anchor is Sensors (35125100); 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 35 | 2,275 | 3 median · 32.7 average (840 of 2,275 with a bid count) | 3.7 average (975 of 2,275 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 78 | 1 median · 2.5 average (16 of 78 with a bid count) | 1 average (41 of 78 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Delivery region: UK | 873 | 4 median · 65.4 average (296 of 873 with a bid count) | 5.6 average (366 of 873 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.
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.
No documents are published in the current source record.
Diagnostic view. “Not published” means this current release does not provide a value.

The extension will consist of 3 months initially followed by 3 x one-month option periods if required.\nThe contract provides in-service support (including maintenance and obsolescence and stock management) of the following items of equipment fitted across the United Kingdom Royal Navy submarine and surface ship fleet (the Equipment): Sonars 2050, 2054, 2076, 2087, 2093, 2193; UAA4, UAT, UAT (16); T&V Class Periscopes; AJU, AJN & AXA Masts; AVS; Orphan MRE and NEP Cabinets (the Contract). Such in-service support includes the provision of spare parts, repair and maintenance activity and safety certification. \nThe Contract has value between £780-£820M (eight hundred and twenty million pounds sterling) and a term of ten years. The value of the extension will be approximately £30M (thirty million pounds sterling).\nThe Contract was placed with Thales UK Limited using the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice pursuant to Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) of the United Kingdom Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 (SI 1848) on the basis that for technical reasons the Contract may be awarded only to Thales UK Limited. Thales UK Limited is the original equipment manufacturer of the Equipment and alone has the accumulated know-how required to support, and certify the safety of, the Equipment in accordance with the technical requirements of the Contract. The intended contract extension will be placed on the same basis.",
