This procurement falls under the military research and technology industry category. The tender process is in the active stage, with submissions due by 12:00 PM on 7th April 2022. The contract is expected to commence on 16th May 2022 and will run until 24th June 2022. This open procurement method invites diverse bidders to present competitive proposals, underscoring the significance of both technical and pricing aspects in the evaluation process. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in military research, technology consulting, and spectrum management.

The report will need to outline the following: - How GC-DSA can work, including additional licensing tools that Ofcom might need - Potential pitfalls and solutions - Economic considerations and value to the UK economy of such sharing - Minimum spectrum availability in both bands/terms/duration of sharing - Desirability of locations of spectrum sharing - Definitions of terms under which spectrum would be shared PLEASE NOTE: The contract value stated on this Contract Finder advert is neither an anticipated value, nor a maximum or minimum value that we expect bids to come in at. Bidders must ensure that they submit a viable price that enables them to fully deliver their proposal. The tender is based on a 'Most Economically Advantageous Tender' (MEAT) methodology which means that both technical and price components will be assessed to determine the winning bid. Full details of how the price submission makes up the overall score is explained in the tender documents. Bidders are encouraged to submit a competitive price as part of their bid submission in order to maximise their commercial score. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e4899e2b-8794-48ea-b34e-72d571ac8124 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Mar 2022 | | Submission deadline | 7 Apr 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 15 May 2022 - 24 Jun 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £10,001 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF DEFENCE | | Locality | CORSHAM | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN13 9NR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK72 Wiltshire | | Local authority | Wiltshire | | Electoral ward | Corsham Ladbrook | | Westminster constituency | Chippenham | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73410000 - Military research and technology ## Release History - 28 Mar 2022 at 13:13 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e4899e2b-8794-48ea-b34e-72d571ac8124 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e4899e2b-8794-48ea-b34e-72d571ac8124 28th March 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://contracts.mod.uk/esop/guest/go/opportunity/detail?opportunityId=53703 To view the Tender documents, please click on the link below. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
