Summary of the contracting process

City of Doncaster Council procured a surveillance system for delivery in Doncaster. The requirement covered the design, supply, installation, testing, commissioning and maintenance support of primary surveillance radar, with co-mounted Mode S secondary surveillance radar. The procurement was divided into five lots covering alternative radar and air-traffic-control configurations, including wide-area multilateration and a surveillance data processing and distribution system. The awarded configuration was Lot 1: primary surveillance radar with secondary surveillance radar. The wider scope also included radar equipment and station construction work, as well as air-traffic-control displays and systems. This is specialist aviation surveillance and air-traffic-control equipment, installation and support work, rather than a general supply of standard IT or monitoring equipment.

The procurement is complete and Lot 1 was awarded to Raytheon Systems Limited on 12 May 2026. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and runs to 31 December 2027, with maintenance support and training expected to continue afterwards. Two five-year extensions are available, potentially taking the support period to 30 December 2042. The Lot 1 contract is valued at £7,726,000 excluding VAT (£9,271,200 including VAT). The procedure was open, with bids assessed on quality and technical merit (70%) and price (30%). The original submission deadline was 15 January 2026, following an extension. The published award information records active awards for the other four lots but gives no named suppliers or award values for them; the stated contract outcome and value are for Lot 1.

For suppliers considering similar future requirements from City of Doncaster Council, this award demonstrates demand for an integrated primary and secondary surveillance radar system, including design, installation, testing, commissioning, training and long-term maintenance. A credible competitor would need proven capability to deliver specialist radar and air-traffic surveillance equipment as a complete operational system, and to support it after installation. The evaluation placed substantially more weight on quality and technical merit than on price, so evidence of technical performance, integration, delivery planning and reliable support would be central to a competitive offer. The awarded supplier is a large, established systems company, and the recorded competition for Lot 1 involved one valid bid. Suppliers should be prepared for a technically complex, multi-year delivery and support obligation.
