Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has issued an opportunity notice titled "702663450 - Opportunity Notice" for the support and post-design services of trailers and flatracks. This procurement falls under the industry category of "Trailers" (CPV code 34223300) and takes place in the South West region of the United Kingdom, specifically at postal code BS34 8JH, Bristol. The procurement process is currently in the tender amendment stage and is managed using a selective restricted procedure due to its value being above the threshold. Key dates include the end of the tender period on 29th January 2025, with the contract period commencing on 1st March 2026 and concluding on 31st March 2034. The estimated contract value ranges from £1,000,000 to £5,000,000.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for business growth for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those specialising in engineering technical support and documentation management for trailers and flatracks. The winning bidder will be responsible for a variety of tasks, including acting as the technical authority, handling technical interfaces, maintaining documentation, monitoring obsolescence, providing engineering advice, and ensuring compliance with legislation and safety cases. Businesses with expertise in these areas and the capability to support a fleet size of fewer than 6,000 units will find this tender particularly fitting for their services. With a long-term contract scope and significant financial value, this opportunity can provide a stable and lucrative partnership with the MOD.
