Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the UK Ministry of Defence (UK MoD), represented by Babcock International Group PLC, which has awarded a single-source contract for the repair and calibration of emissions test equipment, specifically the OM1500 and OM4500 Exhaust Emissions Analysers. This contract was initiated as a limited procurement method through a negotiated procedure without prior publication. The contract commenced on 9 April 2021, with an active period until 8 April 2023, along with a potential one-year extension. The total contract value is £303,000, and the work is to be carried out in the West Midlands, England, under the classification of calibration services.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in calibration services, particularly for those with capabilities in maintaining or repairing obsolete equipment. With the UK MoD's specific requirements leading to a limited procurement approach, businesses that can demonstrate technical expertise similar to Gemco Services Ltd, which has been awarded the contract, are well-suited to engage in future tenders of this nature. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) may find suitable opportunities to collaborate or compete, especially if they possess relevant experience and resources needed to support equipment that has limited parts availability in the market.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Repair and calibration of emissions test equipment

Notice Description

This contract is below the threshold specified under the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011. Babcock Land Defence Limited, acting as the agent to the UK Ministry of Defence (UK MoD), has awarded a single source contract to Gemco Services Ltd (Gemco) for the Calibration and Repair of Emissions Test Equipment, solely OM1500 and OM4500 Exhaust Emissions Analysers, for a duration of 1 year with 1 additional year that may be taken at the Authority's discretion. The Authority considers that it can award the contract only to Gemco on the basis of technical reasons. The OM1500 and OM4500 Exhaust Emissions Analysers are commercially obsolete, and the purpose of this contract is to provide interim repair cover while the replacement fleet of equipment is sourced and brought into service, currently planned for FY 20/21. The OM1500 & OM4500 Exhaust Emission Analysers have been extensively supported by Gemco. Gemco have, through this support, amassed a supply of serviceable spares which are no longer available to procure on the open market due to obsolescence. All historical calibration data supporting the equipment fleets traceability is owned and maintained by Gemco.
