What is being bought

The Ministry of Defence is considering a procurement to deliver replacement WECDIS Interface Unit (WIU) and Combat System Interface Unit (CSIU) capability in support of Royal Navy maritime navigation and combat system requirements. The requirement is intended to address equipment obsolescence and maintain operational capability through the provision of replacement hardware, associated software, installation activities and supporting assurance services. The anticipated scope includes the design, manufacture, supply and installation of replacement equipment together with associated deliverables required to support continued safe operation and sustainment of the capability. The Authority is currently developing the requirement and procurement strategy. Further information will be provided through subsequent procurement notices as appropriate.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 34. The category anchor is Navigation equipment (34933000); 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 341,7733 median · 22.1 average (500 of 1,773 with a bid count)3.5 average (552 of 1,773 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.
