## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is conducting a procurement process to acquire additional RF Monitoring Nodes, specifically designed for Defence applications. This contract, which has a value of £438,389.17, falls under the Telecommunications equipment and supplies industry category. The procurement is currently at the Award stage, with the contract awarded to CRFS Ltd, which is based in Cambridge. The contract was signed on 15th February 2022. The procurement method used was a limited procedure, classified as negotiated without publication of a contract notice.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the telecommunications and defence sectors. Companies that specialise in RF monitoring technology, telecommunications equipment, and related services will find this procurement particularly relevant. Additionally, suppliers who can demonstrate compatibility and interoperability with existing MOD systems will be well positioned to compete for future contracts, considering the importance of standardisation in the defence supply chain.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Supplies of additional RF Monitoring Capability TDoA and AoA

### Procurement Information

Defence Digital, part of the UK Ministry of Defence, intends to award a contract to CRFS Ltd, for 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.
