Description

NAD (National Armaments Director Group, part of the UK Ministry of Defence (previously Defence Equipment and Support)) intends to award a contract under Procurement Reform Regulations of 2023 by means of competitive flexible procedure, for the supply and through-life support of boresight kits (boresights and interchangeable mandrels/adapters) for use on multiple weapon systems/calibres within Land Equipment Operating Centre (LEOC). The Combat Vehicles 2 team (a LEOC team) are leading this project as they have a confirmed requirement of 295 boresight kits, with an initial requirement to obtain 50 boresight kits within 4-6 months of contract award. This contract may also include options to allow other teams to purchase additional quantities to fulfil their own requirements in due course. The approximate total quantity of these optional buys is c.400 boresight kits (at current estimates). As the other team’s requirements are not fully matured, we are currently unable to quote an exact contract value and duration. We estimate the duration to be between 1-3 years, and the overall contract value to be between £2,000,000 - £5,000,000, but this will be dependent on the confirmed ranging and scaling of other teams’ requirements. A Cyber Risk Assessment (RAR-JLG5AJJ) has been completed for this project, and it has been classed as Level 1. Please review DEFSTAN 05-138 for further information on the control measures associated with this assessment to ensure bidders are able to comply. You may express your interest in this requirement by completing the Procurment supplier Questionnaire (PSQ) found at: https://contracts.mod.uk/go/3057590101A0FCA1E44A The PSQ shall be assessed using the selection criteria given within the PSQ and within each question. Only those potential suppliers who successfully complete and pass the PSQ shall be inivted to Tender. AOB: Contract end date and duration are approximations, as they are dependent on other delivery teams within LEOC wishing to utilise the options within this contract to purchase additional units to fulfil their own requirements.
