Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office is overseeing a procurement process for the provision of equipment for Long Range Radar trials. This procurement, under the industry category of Radar Surveillance Equipment, is being facilitated through a direct procurement method. The awarded contract, valued at £562,000, is set to cover a contract period from 21 December 2023 to 31 March 2025. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with key dates including the end of the tender period on 13 June 2023 and the award date of 21 December 2023. The project involves multiple delivery locations including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom.

This tender presents an excellent growth opportunity for businesses specialising in radar surveillance equipment and related services, particularly those that can handle international delivery. While the primary procurement method used is a single tender action below the threshold, it remains an open opportunity for niche providers. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would find this contract particularly suitable due to its scale and specific requirements. Collaborations between larger companies like the University of Plymouth Enterprise Ltd and Helzel Messtechnik GmbH, who are already involved as suppliers, demonstrate the potential for partnership opportunities to leverage advanced expertise and technological capability.
