This is a Prior Information Notice for a 5G new radio (NR) base station emulator forming part of the 5G over-the-air testing system procurement. Overview of the specification: Requirement is for a product with UKCA or CE Marking. The following provides further description and the requirement specifications this procurement must meet: • at least cover frequency range up to 6 GHz (i.e. frequency range 1, FR1 for 5G NR Rel. 15); • able to establish IoT, 4G long-term-revolution (LTE), and 5G NR (for both standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) 5G standards) TDD and FDD downlink and uplink communications with a IoT, LTE and/or 5G enabled wireless devices; • able to support more than one communication protocols running simultaneously; • at least 4 radio frequency (RF) ports that enable 1 x 1 (single-input-single-output (SISO)), 2 x 2 and 4 x 4 MIMO communications; • scalable data bandwidth (e.g. 100 MHz, 200 MHz, 400 MHz, etc.); • signal generation, modulation and processing capability (e.g. AM, FM, PM, I/Q, Noise, PSK, QAM, etc.); • allow custom/user-specified waveform, baseband signal and data resource allocations; • has 3GPP channel emulation capability (e.g. SCME, CDL, etc.); • ensure phase coherency between transmit and receive ports; • can acquire channel power, EVM, ACLR, throughput, frequency error, in-band emissions, carrier leakage, etc. • could be extended in the future to operate at higher operating frequency (e.g. millimetre-wave, etc.).

Comparable-procurement analytics

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 setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 321,9934 median · 34.5 average (735 of 1,993 with a bid count)3.8 average (845 of 1,993 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.
