Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has successfully completed the procurement process for the 'RAPSTONE WAVE Capability' project, focusing on the acquisition of several wavelength radios. This contract pertains to the industry category of Radio, television, communication, telecommunication, and related equipment (CPV code: 32000000), and is valued at £1,807,340.20. The procurement was executed via a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with key dates including the tender period's conclusion on 18 February 2025 and the formal award on 19 February 2025. The delivery region for this project is the South East of the United Kingdom, with the contract starting on 19 February 2025 and ending on 31 March 2026.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in communication and telecommunication equipment. Although this specific contract has been awarded to Radiocoms Systems Limited, companies in these sectors should monitor similar MOD procurements to anticipate future needs and marketplace trends. Given the specialised nature of the equipment and the substantial contract value, large firms with the capacity to supply sophisticated radio technology will find such opportunities particularly well-suited to their capabilities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) might find participating in larger framework agreements beneficial as a strategic avenue for eventual inclusion in comparable high-value contracts.
