CORRIGENDUM to Remote Sensor Network PIN
Buyer: Ministry of Defence →
What is being bought
The Ministry of Defence requires a prime contract to manufacture, test and support multiple Remote Sensor Networks. The purpose of RSN is to monitor and maintain a variety of outputs for a military user group. The core of the requirement will be known at contract award and includes support to the existing equipment set. The remainder of the requirement and deliverables shall be defined over the course of the contract to address emerging requirements that shall be contracted through a tasking procedure. We expect to contract with a prime contractor who has the capability and reach-back to take advantage of emergent, innovative capability across the market. The classification of the requirement is up to and including SECRET UK EYES ONLY. Therefore the Prime Contractor will be required to hold Facility Security Clearance. 2. Procurement Timescales & Contract Value. The estimated value range of the Contract is between £15M-£18M over a 5 to 7-year period with potential contract commencing July 2024. 3. Early Engagement and Market Intelligence The Authority is particularly interested in understanding the capabilities in the market to help inform the development of the requirement. Please provide a brief of up to 750 words detailing your capability and potential solutions to the requirement along with any potential risks/issues that the Authority should consider. Your brief should be addressed to princess.macsadjo100@mod.gov.uk. Please provide your brief no later than 7 April 2023. This information shall not be used by the Authority to down-select but shall help inform the development of the requirement and contracting strategy only. 4. Contract Notice and Pre-Qualification The Authority intends to publish a Contract Notice and initiate Supplier Selection in April 2023. Full details on how to express your interest in this requirement shall be published in the Contract Notice. 5. Further Information You must not take this announcement to mean confirmation that MOD shall award a contract for this requirement. The MOD is publishing this announcement without any commitment to issue a tender or place a contract. Accordingly, any expenditure, work or effort undertaken before contract award is a matter solely for the commercial judgement of potential suppliers.
Categories
Comparable-procurement analytics
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 | 2,501 | 3 median · 37.7 average (944 of 2,501 with a bid count) | 4 average (1,095 of 2,501 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 0 | Not published | Not published | 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.
