Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured 68kg of nylon braided cord, identified as NSN 4020-99-7017323, for its requirements under a wider supply arrangement covering cord, thread, bungee and associated items. This is a goods requirement in the cordage, rope, twine and netting category (CPV 39540000). Delivery covers the United Kingdom, including the Ministry of Defence site at Abbey Wood, Bristol, as well as the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man and other locations worldwide. The requirement is for a specific material and quantity rather than a general cordage supply service, so relevant manufacturers, distributors and industrial suppliers should be able to provide nylon braided cord meeting the stated NSN specification and support delivery across the listed destinations.

The procurement has been completed through Mini Competition 022 under the multi-supplier C17CSAE/708795450 framework, using a selective procedure and a framework call-off. The tender closed on 30 July 2026 at 4pm. The Ministry of Defence awarded the contract to Worthington Industrial Products Ltd on 11 August 2026 for £3,628 including the stated contract value. The contract period runs from 12 August 2026 to 30 April 2027. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Evaluation was conducted within the framework mini-competition process; the published information identifies the procurement route but does not set out separate award criteria.

This award indicates a defined Ministry of Defence requirement for supply of nylon braided cord to an NSN specification, with demand routed through an established multi-supplier framework and its mini-competition process. Suppliers seeking comparable defence work would need credible access to the required cord, the ability to identify and supply products against military stock numbers, and reliable order fulfilment. The delivery profile favours businesses able to handle UK and overseas destinations, including defence-related locations and territories. The buyer’s recorded position that the requirement is not suitable for SMEs, together with the selection of a large industrial supplier, suggests that scale, established supply capacity and dependable logistics will be important when competing for similar requirements from this buyer.
