Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is seeking to procure night vision devices through a selective, restricted procedure, designated for telescopic sights under the CPV 38633000 classification. The procurement stage is in the tender phase, with a deadline for tender submissions set for 14th October 2024. This procurement is valued at approximately £120 million (excluding VAT) and is set to cover various regions including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and globally. The procurement period extends from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2031. This contract involves a framework agreement (FA) allowing flexibility in procuring night vision device capabilities over the next seven years, contingent on user requirements and funding.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in night vision technology and related fields. SMEs are especially encouraged to apply, as the suitability criteria favour such enterprises. The competition will involve a pre-determined evaluation process, including mini-competitions. Successful suppliers will need to agree to place sub-contract arrangements under the Surveillance Target Acquisition Support (STAS) Contract. Furthermore, the winning suppliers will engage in discussions around Social Value (SV) and develop Method Statements, KPIs, and action plans to incorporate SV into their proposals. Businesses adept at providing high-quality technical solutions, with capabilities to handle extensive service contracts and flexible manufacturing capacities, will find themselves well-suited to compete in this tender.
