Procurement Information
Babcock Land Defence Ltd, acting as agent for the UK Ministry of Defence (UK MoD), intends to place a single source framework agreement for the supply of spares for the Glock Pistol with Viking Arms Ltd. The duration of the proposed framework agreement is 7 years and has an initial estimated value of PS4.5M. It is considered that this single source framework agreement can be placed using the negotiated procedure without prior publication pursuant to Regulations 16(1)(a)(ii) and 16(1)(b)(i) of the Defence and Security Public Contractors 2011 for technical reasons and interoperability from sourcing spares from a supplier other than Viking Arms Ltd. The original equipment manufacturer is Glock. Glock has granted Viking Arms Ltd sole and exclusive rights in the United Kingdom. The UK MoD does not have access to nor any rights to use design and manufacture documentation in relation to the Glock Pistol. Without access to this technical information the UK MoD is not in a position to be able to identify the exact technical requirements for the manufacture of spares which would put the performance of the equipment and the safety of the users of the equipment at significant risk. There are no equivalent products, reasonable substitutes or alternatives to the specification, that have the same functional and interoperability requirements. This notice is not a request for expressions of interest so please do not apply to be invited to tender. Babcock Land Defence Ltd, acting as agent for the UK MoD, is to negotiate a single source contract with Viking Arms Ltd.
