What is being bought

706840450 – Provision of Training Simulation Services – The increasingly realistic nature of simulation dramatically reduces the delta between training and operations. It provides the ability to deliver realistic simulation to the increasingly demanding Operational Readiness Mechanism (ORM) which not only de-risks training evolutions but improves operational effectiveness and can increase mission success. Force Generation (FGen) exercises involve in excess of 600 SP, multiple Fixed Wing (FW), Rotary Wing (RW) and Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance (ISR) platforms. All are integrated, monitored, and tested with the aid of simulation. This must be managed by one civilian company, coordinating exercise support. By having a single point of contact for exercise coordinators, it streamlines problem solving and eases the logistical burden on FGen exercises. This allows much needed flexibility when conducting multiple scenarios in several countries. Please see Annex A of the DPQQ Additional Information document for more information.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 80. The category anchor is Training and simulation in firearms and ammunition (80620000); 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

“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.
