Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has announced the award of a contract for the procurement of a wireless analyser, specifically the Wavejudge Sanjoule 5000, with an estimated value of £256,366.73. This contract was initiated through a direct procurement method as a single tender action due to the technical exclusivity of the required equipment. The tender period concluded on 12 November 2021, while the contract period is set to commence on 15 November 2021, lasting until 14 November 2022. The operation will be conducted from Salisbury, located in the South West region of England, under the industry category of analysers.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in the development or supply of specialised technical equipment, particularly those familiar with defence-related technologies. Companies that can demonstrate the capability to provide unique or exclusive products, especially within the category of analysers, will be well-suited to compete in future procurement processes. The contract is currently awarded to Keysight Technologies UK Limited, thus creating a potential gap for competitors who may innovate or offer alternative solutions to similar technical requirements.
