Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has completed a procurement process for the provision of reprogramming capability for the Modernized Radar Frequency Interferometer (MRFI) AN/APR48B, including associated technical support. This award, with a contract value of approximately £4.38 million, was finalised on 18 December 2020 and is intended to span until 31 March 2024. The procurement method employed was a limited procedure, executed through a negotiated process without prior publication due to the exclusive capabilities of the selected supplier, Lockheed Martin Corporation. The relevant industry category is classified under systems support services, and contract activities are based in Yeovil, England, with a postal delivery address of LN5 9NB.

This contract represents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in systems support services, particularly those with capabilities in advanced radar technologies and defence systems. Although the contract has been awarded, potential suppliers with innovative technologies or complementary services in the defence sector may find opportunities for collaboration or subcontracting, especially those capable of providing unique solutions or expertise that align with the ongoing requirements of the MoD. As the crucial operations of the Apache Capability Sustainment Programme continue, businesses with a focus on defence and aerospace technology may be particularly well-suited to explore potential future engagements.
