Coverage: 3 active published awards; 1 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

Procedure rationaleThe Contract Notice was issued on the 28/03/2023 and no suppliers registered interest via the Defence Sourcing Portal. However, Thales UK Ltd informed the Authority by email of their interest in this contract opportunity. Therefore, in the circumstances as there is an absence of tenders in response to ADEWS/115 the Authority will use the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice to negotiate with Thales UK Ltd on the basis that the initial conditions of the contract are not substantially altered |
