Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has completed a public procurement process titled "Procurement of In-Service support for T2 and Terrier Front End Equipment (FEE)." This process pertains to the technical support services industry and is located in the UK. It was initiated through a limited procurement method, specifically negotiated without the prior publication of a contract notice, and has resulted in a contract valued at £450,000. The contract, awarded to Pearson Engineering Limited, includes provisions for a three-year term with options for two additional one-year extensions and was signed on 8th December 2021.
