Digital Catapult is looking for an Open RAN System Integrator who shall design, supply, install, configure and integrate within the SONIC common compute and networking infrastructure an Open RAN-based network covering three sites in London. The System Integrator shall supply all the Open RAN hardware, including radio units and cables, both fibre and ethernet, to connect radio units, as well as software-based components and related services. The System Integrator shall have capabilities to deliver Radio Units (RUs), Distributed Unit (DUs) and Central Unit (CUs) and RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) solutions. The System Integrator shall also provide professional engineering services to install, configure and integrate a 5G Open RAN system distributed across the three indoor sites with the existing 5G SA Core network in SONIC Labs. As part of the “Open Access” requirement, Digital Catapult shall work with equipment, services and solutions from several vendors/manufacturers and does not want a position of exclusivity of supply from any one particular vendor/manufacturer. Ongoing support and maintenance of the equipment shall be provided for a period of 24 months. In addition to the provision of the equipment, software and professional services required under this tender, Digital Catapult also require unpack and dispose of packaging, and install/mount where applicable of the kit.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 32. The category anchor is Networks (32400000); 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 322,0364 median · 34.3 average (746 of 2,036 with a bid count)3.9 average (861 of 2,036 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer135 median · 5.2 average (5 of 13 with a bid count)1.7 average (6 of 13 with named award suppliers)Not published
Delivery region: UKI1513 median · 12 average (50 of 151 with a bid count)1.9 average (61 of 151 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.
