Drone Capability Coalition - Tactical Multirotor ISR UAV
Buyer: Ministry of Defence →
What is being bought
The Tactical Multirotor ISR UAV ITT aims to procure approximately 10 different batches of UAS, consisting of 2 complete systems, as described in the Introduction (Annex A) including all ground elements (e.g. 2 systems = x2 ground elements), which will be tested by the Drone Capability Coalition. The intent is that, following testing, platforms that meet the requirements will be considered for a potential future production contract (circa x25 systems per month). The systems must be produced and delivered for testing within 6 weeks of contract award. Bidders are to ensure that their system meets all qualification questions & entry criteria prior to submitting their proposal.

Comparable-procurement analytics
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 35. The category anchor is Unmanned combat aerial vehicles (35613100); 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 | 2,256 | 3 median · 32.8 average (834 of 2,256 with a bid count) | 3.7 average (966 of 2,256 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 0 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UK | 867 | 4 median · 65.7 average (294 of 867 with a bid count) | 5.5 average (364 of 867 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.
