Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Navy, part of the UK Ministry of Defence, is set to award a one-year contract titled "Queen Elizabeth Carrier Personnel Accounting and Location Trial" to Kinsetsu Limited for the provision of safety equipment, specifically for the Personnel Accounting and Logistics (PAL) System. This procurement falls under the 'goods' category and is evaluated with a contract value of £350,442. The award notice was published on 5th January 2021, while the contract period is scheduled from 1st January 2021 to 31st March 2021. The selected procurement method is a limited procedure through negotiation without prior publication, deeming it essential due to the unique technical requirements involved.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for SMEs in the safety equipment sector, particularly those with expertise in integrated personnel accounting systems. Given the highly specialised nature of the project, businesses that have experience in military or maritime safety systems, or possess specific interoperability capabilities similar to those of Kinsetsu, would be well-positioned to engage in future contracts. The competitive edge lies in having the technical proficiencies and accreditations necessary to meet the stringent requirements set forth by the Royal Navy.
