Notice Description

Brief Description of Requirement UK Shared Business Services Ltd (UK SBS) wishes to establish a Contract for the provision of The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) Station and Ships: dry, frozen and bonded provisions on behalf of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). UK SBS is managing this procurement process in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as may be amended from time to time) (the "Regulations"). It is intended that a sole provider will be appointed for this Contract. The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) operate five research stations in and around Antarctica and a polar research ship. This RFP is to supply dry, frozen and bonded provisions for personnel on the stations and on board the ships. Ships and stations will also procure provisions from other ports around the world that will not form part of this contract. Other items excluded from this contract are: * Fresh fruit and vegetables * Field ration packs During the Antarctic summer there can be more than 250 scientists and support personnel stationed around the region. Everything they need to survive and work needs to be imported by air or sea. Those who remain in Antarctica during the winter need adequate supplies for over six months of isolation. The ship will take main stores twice a year, once on arrival in the UK after their Antarctic deployment, usually May or June; and again prior to their departure for Antarctica in September or October. The requirements are determined by the relevant purser and will encompass dry, frozen and bonded provisions. Each station needs an annual replenishment of materials and equipment which is delivered by a BAS ship during the Antarctic summer field season. One of the most important elements of the resupply exercise is the restocking of food supplies. Please ensure you review all attached information to ensure a full understanding of this requirement.
