Summary of the contracting process

Babcock Land Defence Ltd, acting on behalf of the UK Ministry of Defence, has awarded a £3,500,000 contract to Blakley Electrical Limited for the purchase of light and power distribution systems. The contract, which will supply spares for these systems to MoD Abbey Wood, is planned to last for four years. The procurement method used was limited, resulting in an award made without prior publication due to technical reasons as per Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of PCR 2015. The main procurement category is goods within the power supply accessories sector, with a completion status indicated in the procurement process. The contract was signed on 22 January 2025, and the supplies will be delivered to the UKG21 region.

This procurement presents valuable opportunities for businesses within the power distribution industry, particularly those that can provide specialised components and systems required by the Ministry of Defence. Companies with expertise in manufacturing power supply accessories and those that can offer technical solutions where there are minimal competitive suppliers will find a strong fit with this tender. The engagement led by a notable defence sector player like Babcock International also opens pathways for future contracts and collaborations, further expanding market presence and business growth potential for suppliers.
