Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has contracted for repairs to operational hygiene, sanitation, laundry and field-catering equipment used by the UK armed forces. The scope covers all types of repair to eight equipment types: transportable laundry systems, portable personal sanitation units, burner modules, ovens, power supply units, slave start distribution boxes, burner-and-box assemblies, and field water heaters. Similar items may also be added during the agreement. This is a repair and maintenance service, classified under CPV 50532400, which is labelled as electrical distribution equipment repair and maintenance. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. Babcock Land Defence Limited acted as the Ministry’s agent in the procurement.

The procurement is complete and awarded to G3 Systems Ltd. The award date was 24 August 2026, and the contract was signed on 5 October 2026. The contract runs from 5 October 2026 to 4 October 2030, with two optional one-year extensions. Its stated value is £2,747,000 excluding VAT (£3,296,400 including VAT). It was a selective competitive flexible procedure, using a two-stage supplier questionnaire and tender process. The framework is closed, with call-offs without reopening competition; first-year prices are firm, with annual adjustments thereafter linked to the PPI index. Evaluation weighted commercial pricing at 55% and technical responses at 45%, covering OEM specification compliance, set-up and turnaround times, and schedule adherence. Two bids were received. A 1% fee on the award value applies to the successful supplier.

This award shows demand for ongoing repair capacity across a mixed fleet of operational hygiene, sanitation, laundry and field-catering equipment, rather than a single product line. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need technicians and processes capable of repairing the eight listed equipment types, meeting original-equipment-manufacturer specifications, and managing set-up, turnaround and delivery schedules. Quality assurance is a stated requirement: the contractor must hold and maintain ISO 9001:2015 certification, or an equivalent accreditation whose scope fits the work. The buyer evaluated both price and technical responses, with the technical assessment addressing compliance and delivery performance, so suppliers need evidence of dependable repair quality and schedule control as well as competitive pricing. The existing supplier is an SME, and the award attracted two bids, showing that a specialist-sized provider competed successfully.
