## Summary

The Ministry of Defence, functioning as the buying organisation, has completed the procurement stage for "The Provision of Airwave Radios, Auxiliaries and Supporting Airtime." This contract falls under the services category, specifically targeting radio equipment, and pertains to the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded on 19 December 2025, with the contract period spanning from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2030. Notably, the total contract value amounts to £36,500,000, and the legal name of the supplier is Airwave Solutions Limited, a large-scale enterprise.

This tender presents business growth opportunities, particularly for large-scale businesses specialising in radio equipment and related technological services. Given the nature of the procurement, smaller enterprises and those in the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sectors might not find it suitable due to specific scalability requirements and pre-established supplier networks. Nonetheless, the contract offers substantial opportunities for businesses that can leverage existing frameworks and comply with the Ministry of Defence’s operational standards. Businesses already engaged in framework agreements will find a competitive edge in such procurement processes.
