What is being bought

The MQ-9B PROTECTOR Programme aims to deliver a future UK capability for Deep and Persistent Armed ISTAR collect out to the mid-2030s, which will encompass the long range, persistent wide area surveillance and precision strike capabilities currently provided by the REAPER capability and Subject matter expert support for initial certification is required.

In order to gain UK PROTECTOR certification from the UK MAA, the Authority requires SME knowledge and support. SME would be required to provide technical support and supporting evidence to the Authority and the MAA. SME will be required to share evidence, within the limitations of the TAA, to support certification.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 50. The category anchor is Repair and maintenance services of military aircrafts, missiles and spacecrafts (50650000); 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 509,2254 median · 22.4 average (3,783 of 9,225 with a bid count)3.2 average (4,299 of 9,225 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.

Procurement method rationaleDSPCR 2011 - Single source contract awarded to supplier with a single source exemption granted based on technical reasons. The only viable option was to carry out a single source procurement with Honeywell on the grounds that Honeywell are the engine OEM and due to the proprietary nature of the engine, Honeywell are the only organisation that has access to all of the UK PROTECTOR TPE331-10YGD engine Type Design Data that is required for Initial Certification of the engine. GA-ASI as the aircraft integrator has access to select Type Design Data to aid with integration with the aircraft, however the data they hold is inadequate for engine Type Certification as levied by the Subsystem Certification Plan for Propulsion & Oil (P&O SSCP). In order to gain UK PROTECTOR certification from the UK MAA, the Authority requires Honeywell’s SME knowledge and support.
