What is being bought

To allow suppliers to tender a SWESS Light system for inclusion within the existing 3 SWESS Light Framework Agreements. Existing SWESS Framework Agreements: 1) SWESS Light Night Sight (PQQ & ITT Code 703439450 ) Notice reference: 2022/S 000-032748) 703439450 SWESS Light Night Sight - Find a Tender (find-tender.service.gov.uk) 2) SWESS Light In-Line Sight (PQQ & ITT Code 703437450) Notice reference: 2022/S 000-007979 703437450, SWESS Light Inline Sight - Find a Tender (find-tender.service.gov.uk) 3) SWESS Light Battlesight (PQQ & ITT Code 703440450) Notice reference: 2022/S 000-007973 703440450-CN SWESS Light Battle Sight - Find a Tender (find-tender.service.gov.uk)

Lot details

Lot 1

In November 2022 the Dismounted Close Combat (DCC) Project Team awarded Framework Agreements for the following variants of sighting system for use on the General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG): SWESS Light Night Sight: Zero-light (thermal) sighting system; SWESS Light In-Line Sight: Zero to day light (thermal in line with direct view optic) sighting system; SWESS Light Battlesight – Quick acquisition day optic. Within the original SWESS Light Framework competitions the Authority stated Industry would be invited to re-tender for the 3 Framework Agreements at periodic intervals within the 7 year contract duration. This would allow Industry to make available the most up-to-date capability for the Military Customer to be able to select from. The Authority is correspondingly initiating this process with a view to performing it yearly, with the following indicative timelines for the 1st Re-Tender Round: Dynamic Pre-Qualifier Questionnaire (DPQQ) issue: July 23; Invitation To Tender (ITT) issue: August 23; Range evaluation of Key requirements using (on loan) trial systems: September/October 23; Evaluation of tender documentation: September - October 23; Framework awards: November 23. The re-tender process will be in accordance with the original requirements. Tenderers will be required to have their products available for delivery to the Authority by the end of September for trials being conducted in October. The trials date will not be changed. It is important to note that although a product may be successful in getting through and placed onto the framework, there is no guarantee that this shall result in an order being placed. Additional information: Interested companies are not required to take any immediate action but should monitor the Defence Souring Portal (DSP) for the publication of the DPQQs for the 3 SWESS Light Framework Agreements. Suppliers already on the 3 SWESS Light Frameworks Agreements wishing to supply new products are not required to respond to the DPQQ or subsequent Invitation to Tender.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 38. The category anchor is Telescopic sights (38633000); 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 382,9922 median · 12 average (1,388 of 2,992 with a bid count)2.6 average (1,589 of 2,992 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.
