Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by the Ministry of Defence, focused on the purchase of ISO Containers under the project title "Pj PAXO". This contract falls within the military research and technology industry category and was targeted for delivery to London, with the location postal code SW1A 2EU. The process utilized a direct procurement method through a single tender action due to being below the threshold. The tender period concluded on 31st July 2025, and the contract period extends from 15th September to 31st December 2025. This tender has progressed to the award stage, with the award officially published on 13th October 2025 after the contract was activated on 15th September 2025.

This procurement presents opportunities primarily for large enterprises, given the project's scale and its alignment with specialised military research and technology fields. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find limited opportunities due to suitability criteria. The direct procurement method signifies a streamlined opportunity for businesses like Nolte Services International GMBH, a large-scale service supplier already involved in the contract. Companies experienced in delivering goods, particularly those with expertise in military-grade containers, will find this contract particularly suitable for expanding their business footprint in this niche market.
