Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Babcock International Group PLC, acting on behalf of the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence, for the contract titled "Repair of X200 Transmissions". This tender falls under the industry category of "Repair and maintenance services of vehicle transmissions" and is located in the West Midlands, England. The procurement method used was a limited procedure, specifically a negotiated procedure without prior publication, and the contract was awarded on 16th October 2019. The contract period commenced on 17th October 2019 and is set to conclude on 16th October 2021, with a total contract value of £12,488,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in specialised repair services for military or heavy-duty vehicle components. However, due to the specific licensing and proprietary knowledge required, the primary competitor for this contract was Caterpillar Shrewsbury Limited, the only supplier authorised by the original equipment manufacturer, Allison Transmissions. Companies with expertise in defence services, particularly those that have the necessary certifications and licencing agreements, would be well-positioned to engage in similar future contracts within this sector.
