Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Ministry of Defence (MOD) of the United Kingdom, which is seeking to contract for the "Provision of Data Analysis and Operational Certificates of Design (CofD)" related to the integration of the Paveway IV MK2 weapon system onto the Protector RG-1. This project falls under the services category, specifically data analysis services (CPV code: 72316000), and is situated within the UKH3 region. The current stage of the procurement is complete, with the contract awarded on 15th October 2021 for a total estimated value of £3.9 million. The projected duration for the contract extends 14 months from the start date, and it was initiated through a limited procurement method, specifically a negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in data analysis services and defence-related projects. Companies that possess expertise in the technical aspects of integrating advanced weapon systems, along with those capable of delivering operational certificates of design, would be well positioned to engage in similar contracts in the future. The MOD's procurement strategy highlights a preference for collaboration with established firms that have proven technical knowledge, indicating a potential focus on partnerships and subcontracting options for smaller enterprises seeking to expand their market presence within the defence sector.
