## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is seeking to procure additional land-based Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) surveying equipment through a limited tender process. This procurement falls under the category of global navigation and positioning systems (CPV code: 38112100) and is centered in Bristol, England. The tender has been awarded, with a contract value of £250,500 initiated on 22 March 2017 and expected to conclude by 31 March 2018. The tender period ended on 28 February 2017, and the awarded contract relates to ensuring the accuracy of hydrographic surveys crucial for safety and navigation purposes.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in global navigation equipment and surveying technology. Companies that manufacture or supply GPS and GNSS systems, particularly those capable of interoperability with existing Royal Navy equipment, would be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, given the Ministry of Defence's emphasis on safety and advanced technology, suppliers who can demonstrate a proven track record in providing high-quality navigation solutions may find this market ripe for expansion.

## Notice

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has a requirement for a Survey grade Global Positioning System to accurately determine a position on the Earth's surface and to establish and ensure the accuracy of a Hydrographic Survey as well as to position land based objects so that they can be used for Navigation purposes. This is essential to Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) and to meet Defence Task (DT) requirements. Current Royal Navy (RN) Hydrographic land based Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) capability is invested in the Trimble (manufacturere) R7 (model) receivers. The R7 has been in service for the past 10 years and additional units are now required to be purchased to support R7 units as they reach end of life over the next few years. The R7 replacement must be interoperable with the existing equipment.
