Lot Information
Lot 1
Automated Pallet Handling Storage System Support Contract for an initial 6 year term, followed by 4 individual option years for the provision of support. Support is to include maintenance, repairs, provision of spares and obsolescence management. Support is to be provided 24/7, 365 days of the year.
Options: 4 option years, option to increase on-site support by an additional day per week if required.
Procurement Information
The Single Source route has been utilised in accordance with PCR 2015 Reg 32(2)(b)(ii) where competition is absent for technical reasons. The pallet handing system is severely impacted with obsolescence issues, and there is limited technical information available to develop the necessary documentation for a competition due to the age of the equipment. Logistex has acquired a knowledge of this aged equipment, built over an 11.5-year period, holding first-hand knowledge and experience of the obsolescence and issues that have surfaced through the maintenance of this equipment during a previous contract.
