Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured 68kg of nylon cord, identified as NSN 4020-99-1388053, for defence supply requirements. This is a goods purchase covering cordage and related rope, twine and netting products, under CPV 39540000. The requirement was for a specific nylon cord item rather than a broader service or works package. Delivery is associated with the United Kingdom, including an address in Staffordshire, and may also cover the British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man and other worldwide destinations. Businesses supplying industrial, military or general-purpose cordage with the ability to fulfil this defined product requirement and support the stated delivery footprint are the most relevant potential competitors for future requirements from this buyer.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was a selective mini-competition call-off from the multi-supplier framework C17CSAE/708795450, identified as Mini Competition 023. The Ministry of Defence awarded the contract to Worthington Industrial Products Ltd on 31 July 2026 for £17,355. The contract period runs from 14 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 30 July 2026 at 4pm. The requirement was treated as a goods procurement and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. One supplier was awarded the contract. The procurement concerned one specified nylon cord requirement rather than multiple separately awarded lots.

For suppliers that did not win, this award provides a clear example of the Ministry of Defence buying a defined industrial cordage product through a multi-supplier framework mini-competition. A credible competitor would need dependable access to 68kg nylon cord matching the stated NSN and the ability to demonstrate that its product meets the buyer’s technical requirement. Relevant experience in supplying cord, rope, thread, bungee or associated items would support a strong market position, particularly where the supplier can manage defence-sector ordering and distribution. The buyer considered the opportunity suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist manufacturers, distributors and industrial suppliers may be well placed when comparable requirements return. Capability to deliver across the United Kingdom and wider destinations is also commercially relevant.
