Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) is procuring 16 Internal Micrometers to complement their existing Examination of Ordnance (XofO) equipment for the CT40mm Cannon on the Ajax Platform. This procurement process, categorised under Measuring and Control Equipment (CPV: 38424000), is in the update stage as of 1st November 2024. The contracting process began earlier in the year, with the tender period ending on 8th May 2024. The MoD, located in Bristol, UK, is handling this through an open procedure, providing free access to procurement documents and requiring electronic submissions. The contract award, dated 27th October 2024, was extended to Sangha Metrology, based in Cambridge, UK, for a value of £110,000.

This tender presents substantial business opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in precision measurement instruments and metrology. Enterprises capable of producing high-quality internal micrometers with specific technical requirements (e.g., measurement capacity between 39mm and 43mm bore, and weight not exceeding 20kg) would be well-suited to compete. Furthermore, options for modification, demonstration, acceptance, and delivery stages, as well as the need for replacement parts, provide extended engagement prospects. Such contracts offer SMEs a pathway to bolster their growth through association with the MoD and participation in defence equipment procurement.
