DHSC is issuing this Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) Invitation as part of early market engagement to seek input from the supply chain to inform requirements and identify potential delivery models for the next iteration of the Ambulance Radio Programmes (ARP) Mobile Data Vehicle Solution (MDVS).

The following themes are in scope for this PME. • Vehicle Hardware Solution (supporting Critical Voice and Data Services) • Mobilisation and Navigation Software • Engineering Services • Installation Services • Logistics and Order Fulfilment Services The Authority anticipates a future tender exercise may be conducted in 2026, though no confirmed timeline can currently be provided.

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 32. The category anchor is Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment (32000000); 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 32 | 622 | 2 median · 38.3 average (163 of 622 with a bid count) | 3.4 average (179 of 622 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 2 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UK | 175 | 4 median · 169.6 average (31 of 175 with a bid count) | 7.3 average (42 of 175 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.
