What is being bought

The LDC4 programme consists of multiple projects with the aim of delivering the next generation of tactical military communications in the land environment and providing the means to make informed and timely decisions, enabled by agile Communication Information Systems (CIS). The programme also includes projects that have already delivered equipment into service. The LDC4 Programme and TacSys Service Executive Teams, part of the UK Ministry of Defence, are jointly seeking to engage with suppliers via an Industry Day on 19 February 2026. The purpose of this engagement is to update the market on the current programme, explore key challenges and opportunities, and gain a clearer understanding of current market capabilities and offerings which may be relevant to how we will need to deliver our capabilities in the future. The event will be held online, to register your interest please respond by completing the Microsoft Form in the link below by 23:59 on the 13 February 2026. Link to registration form: https://forms.office.com/e/x5NDFp6Sq5 For the avoidance of doubt, this notice is not informing the market of an imminent procurement.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 32. The category anchor is Communications equipment (32570000); 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 327673 median · 44.9 average (225 of 767 with a bid count)3.8 average (244 of 767 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer8Not publishedNot publishedNot 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.
