Summary of the contracting process

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) has completed a procurement process for the acquisition of Remote Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), including associated programming software, batteries, chargers, and training. This tender, classified under 'Targets for shooting practice' (CPV: 35210000), was awarded through a single tender action due to its above-threshold value. The procurement, valued at £203,172.07, was conducted with the end date for the tender period being 25th July 2024. The contract period commenced on 9th August 2024 and will conclude on 26th October 2024, with the delivery location specified by postal code PO17 6AD in England.

This contract provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in defence technology and remote piloted aircraft systems. Firms that offer comprehensive solutions including hardware, software, and training services are well-suited to compete in such tenders. While the tender was awarded to Level Peaks, a large-scale supplier, companies looking to expand into or solidify their standing in this niche market should consider engaging in similar future procurements by the DSTL. Leveraging expertise in high-value, specialised single tender actions could pave the way for growth and long-term business relationships within the defence sector.
