Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence initiated a tender process for the abandonment of the LSMS/005 Ropes Contract due to delays in awarding the contract, within the CPV classification of Rope. The tender involved a one-off fixed quantity buy of rope, but was subsequently abandoned as the larger Fleet General Stores (FGS) contract was awarded earlier than LSMS/005. The procurement method used was an open procedure above threshold, with a tender deadline of July 22, 2022, and a contract period starting and ending on December 12, 2022.

This opportunity to compete for rope procurement contracts with the Ministry of Defence could be suitable for businesses specialising in rope manufacturing or supply. The procurement stage for this tender has now moved from planning to award, providing a closed opportunity for interested suppliers. With a focus on goods procurement, businesses looking to expand their presence in the rope industry within the United Kingdom, particularly the South West region, may find this opportunity conducive to their growth strategy.

Notice Information

Notice Title

LSMS/005 - Ropes Contract Abandonment

Notice Description

This Notice is for the Abandonment of the Contract due to the circumstances detailed below. The Authority issued a contract notice, on the 10th June 2022, which stated LSMS/005 was a one off fixed quantity buy of rope. It was the Authority's intention to use LSMS/005 to bridge a requirement gap for rope whilst a larger 4x year enabling arrangement for spares and repairs, Fleet General Stores (FGS), was being tendered. The award of the LSMS/005 Contract was significantly delayed (4 months and 1 week) due to clarifications during the evaluation stage. As a result, the FGS Tender concluded, and the contract commenced on the 9th November 2022 ahead of LSMS/005. As a result, the Fixed Quantity contract- LSMS/005 is no longer required and the Authority has decided to abandon the competition.
