Devon and Cornwall Police are conducting pre-market analysis to understand the commercial supply base for a Mixture of Drones (Aircraft) to accommodate varying payloads and interoperability functionality. We are seeking suppliers with proven past performance including technical capability and capacity, evidence of economic and financial standing. This opportunity will be dynamic and evolving. This Notice is to alert the market of the potential parameters of the requirements. We would like to hear from you as part of our market analysis phase, by way of completing a brief questionnaire to establish relevant information. Contact the Procurement team listed for more detail. There may be further request to discuss the requirement via team’s meeting at SWPPS discretion. The Device(s) are required to either replace, enhance or uplift the current Fleet of Drones for Devon and Cornwall, Dorset and potentially Gloucestershire Police Forces, in additional to other regional Forces or Blue-light organisations who may express an interest to utilise this contract.

| 1 | Unmanned aerial vehicles | Not published |
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 35. The category anchor is Unmanned aerial vehicles (35613000); 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 | 2 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 145 | 9 median · 8 average (4 of 145 with a bid count) | 1.5 average (4 of 145 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.
| Milestone | Type | Due | Status |
