Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, based in Bristol, England, recently completed a procurement process for the provision of 700lb cord under the Mini Competition 021 within the existing Multi Supplier Framework C17CSAE/708795450. The contract, valued at GBP 7,058.70, was awarded on 30th June 2026. This selective procurement method involved a call-off from a framework agreement, specifically targeting the goods industry within the "Miscellaneous cordage, rope, twine and netting" category. The delivery of the ordered items is scheduled between 30th June 2026 and 30th November 2026, with a wide distribution scope that includes the UK, various international territories, and beyond.

The contract was awarded to Worthington Industrial Products Ltd, a large supplier based in Staffordshire, indicating the framework's potential to accommodate businesses of varying sizes while promoting diversity of suppliers.
