Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence sought a specialist vehicle component repair and remanufacturing service covering steering gear, hydraulic assemblies and associated items. The requirement included supplying all spares and components needed for repairs, overhauling articles to original equipment manufacturer specifications, carrying out applicable output tests, issuing Certificates of Conformance, packaging completed articles to the appropriate Military Packing Levels and delivering them to the Authority. The work was to be delivered to the Authority in Telford, with the procurement classified as maintenance and repair services for specific vehicle parts. Babcock Land Defence Limited was involved in managing the requirement on behalf of the Authority.

The procurement reached tender: the Authority invited offers through a restricted procedure under the Defence and Security Public Contract Regulations 2011, using written submissions and a pre-qualification stage. The tender deadline was 21 March 2025 at 12:00 UTC. The proposed framework term was five years, with two 12-month options, and the framework period was five years. Its estimated value was between £670,000 and £950,000, excluding any applicable taxes. Bids were to be assessed in order of importance against technical considerations, price and social value. The Authority subsequently cancelled further activity and abandoned the tender, so this opportunity is no longer proceeding.

This requirement suited suppliers experienced in repairing, remanufacturing and testing military or specialist vehicle components, particularly steering and hydraulic assemblies. Contractors needed to work to original equipment manufacturer specifications and provide documented test results and Certificates of Conformance. A certified quality management system to ISO 9001:2015, or a suitable alternative issued by a nationally accredited certification body, was required, with the appropriate scope for the contract. Delivery capability also mattered: suppliers had to source necessary spares, apply the required Military Packing Levels and return completed articles to the Authority. Suppliers and subcontractors needed to identify any intended subcontracting and subcontractors already engaged, while contract performance included delivery requirements.
