Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has awarded a contract to BAE Systems, Global Combat Systems (GCS) International Ltd for the supply of artillery and armoured vehicle weapon systems components. This procurement pertains to the military vehicles and associated parts industry category, and the contract is set to last for seven years with an estimated total value of £10,400,000. The procurement process is now at the contract stage, having been negotiated without prior publication of a contract notice, and is managed by Babcock Land Defence Limited acting as an agent on behalf of the Ministry of Defence. The contract was signed on 26th September 2024, and the primary location for this procurement is Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria.

This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity for companies involved in the supply and manufacture of military vehicle spares and components. While the contract has been directly awarded to BAE Systems, the potential for subcontracting exists, creating opportunities for smaller firms specializing in niche military vehicle parts to engage in the supply chain. Businesses with expertise in defence manufacturing, technical innovation in military vehicle systems, and those holding relevant certifications and experience would be well-suited to seek partnerships and subcontracting work through this contract.
