## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is seeking bids for the procurement of a Gantry Crane, aimed at improving maintenance capabilities for towed artillery within the South West region of the United Kingdom. This tender, currently in the active stage, will close on 11 June 2019. The contract period is set to commence on 19 August 2019 and conclude on 16 October 2019. The total budget for this initiative is £113,000, with a minimum value of £10,000, following a selective procurement method under a restricted procedure.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in manufacturing or supplying portable machinery and equipment, particularly those with experience in adhering to lifting regulations. The requirement for a one-person assembly crane may attract small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of innovating to meet defence standards. Engaging in this contract could enhance your business portfolio and expand your presence in the defence supply sector.

## Notice

There is currently no portable capability to perform maintenance, such as changing the gun barrel, in the field. The previous tripod had to be taken out of service in 2010, as it was not compliant with Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) legislation and was not been replaced. The requirement is to provide a crane that can be used to change gun barrels in the field, which is portable and can be assembled by one person. This will reduce the current potential resource burden (current capability utilises a minimum of 1 vehicle and 3 personnel).
