UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is initiating a global procurement process for the "Global Overseas Sale & Disposal - UK2 PEM Notice," aimed at managing sales, demilitarisation, recycling, and disposals of surplus assets in operational and non-operational locations. This service falls under the defence and security special regime, with a gross value of GBP 9,072,000. The procurement, at the planning stage, targets the service category and is set to be executed through a framework agreement. An Industry Day is scheduled on 17th July 2025 at MOD Bicester, for interested contractors to gain insights into project requirements, with the opportunity to engage commencing as early as 2025-09-15.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in marketing services, refurbishment work, and recycling equipment. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) stand a good chance, given the procurement's suitability for such entities. Companies with expertise in managing defence contracts, global sales, or recycling operations will find this opportunity particularly beneficial. The competitive process, embedded in a structured framework agreement, facilitates stable business growth through a long-term contract, promising a start date of 1st May 2026, extending up to 30th April 2030, with potential renewals up to 2034.
