## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has completed a procurement process for the purchase of RF Monitoring Capability (TDoA and AoA) equipment from CRFS. The procurement method used was a negotiated procedure without prior publication, with a contract value of £438,389.17 GBP. The contract period is from 16th March 2022 to 31st March 2023. This procurement falls under the industry category of Radio, television, communication, telecommunication, and related equipment, and the delivery addresses are in the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in goods related to radio, television, communication, telecommunication, and related equipment to engage with the Ministry of Defence. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly suited for this opportunity. The focus on interoperability and standardisation of equipment within the defence and security arena necessitates supply from the same manufacturer, creating a niche market for eligible suppliers.

## Notice

The purchase of AoA and TDoA RF Monitoring nodes from CRFS that will be used with the existing TDoA nodes MOD currently owns, previously purchased from CRFS. It is considered that this contract can be placed using the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice pursuant to Regulation 32(5)(b) of the UK Public Contracts Regulations 2015 for additional purchase or hire of goods from the original supplier where they are in addition to existing goods. This is because the complexity of the goods and the associated requirements for interoperability of the new goods and the existing goods and the need for standardisation of equipment in the defence and security arena, requires supply by the same manufacturer. A change in supplier to obtain similar equipment would result in incompatibility with the goods covered by the original contract.
