Procurement Information

The Joint Electronic Surveillance Delivery Team, within the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence, intend to award a Contract to Steatite Limited for the delivery of an initial 25 MPU5 radios, ancillaries, spares, training, support, with options to procure additional systems ("the Contract"). The Contract has an anticipated value of PS1.1M (ex VAT) and a total contract duration of 5 years, subject to option periods (3+1+1).

The radios are required in addition to existing MPU5 radios. To obtain alternative radios from an alternative supplier would oblige MOD to acquire goods with different technical characteristics. This would result in incompatibility between the existing goods and failure to provide additional equipment capable of communicating with current in-service radios. MPU5 radios are essential in enabling a networking solution with the in-service radios.
