What is being bought

The Magnifier is a critical component of an officer’s optical suite, providing increased visual clarity, positive identification capability, and improved shot accuracy at extended engagement distances. When paired with a holographic sight, the magnifier must enable officers to rapidly transition between close-quarters and medium-range engagements without compromising situational awareness.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 35. The category anchor is Weapons, ammunition and associated parts (35300000); 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
Market: CPV division 351,2934 median · 37.3 average (403 of 1,293 with a bid count)3.9 average (442 of 1,293 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.

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.
