Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process titled "Supply Chain Notice: Munition ISO Stuffing." This tender falls under the industry category of "Installation services of lifting and handling equipment, except lifts and escalators" with the CPV classification 51511000. The project aims to acquire an automated packing system or process to enhance munition ISO stuffing. Key dates include the engagement end date on 28th October 2024. The procurement process will impact various regions, including British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom, among other global locations.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in automated packing systems, especially those that can ensure health and safety compliance with munitions. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, given the suitability criteria outlined. Businesses that can provide solutions to securely package munitions using generalist equipment, requiring minimal training, and that comply with NATO pallet standards, are well-suited to compete. This is an excellent opportunity for companies to contribute to process optimisation and reduce the resource intensity currently associated with munition ISO stuffing.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Supply Chain Notice: Munition ISO Stuffing

Notice Description

We are looking for an automated packing system or process that can enhance munition ISO stuffing. We aim to utilise industry options that will effectively increase the scale and pace of the process. Currently the ISO stuffing process is costly and labor, resource and time intensive. Requirements for automating the ISO stuffing process: - Health & Safety explosive compliant: Automated system that allows for munitions to safely be packed and stuffed into an ISO container without risking health & safety. - A system that allows for munitions to be securely packaged, for example, an automated slide in frame that also utilises ratchet straps, reducing movement in transit. - Generalist equipment that does not require packers to have specialist skills or require high-level training / frequent technical support. - Process optimisation: A system that improves operational efficiency when quickly packing and unpacking the ISO. - Adheres to any relevant munition shipping policies and be NATO pallet compatible.
