## Summary

The procurement process involves the UK Shared Business Services Limited, which has successfully completed a tender for the supply of a Side Loader Container Handler for the British Antarctic Survey. The procurement falls under the heavy-lift ship services category and was procured through a direct method, specifically a single tender action below the threshold. The contract, valued at £150,900, commenced on 6th April 2018 and will run until 5th April 2019. The tender period for submissions officially ended on 20th March 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in heavy lifting and container handling equipment, particularly those capable of manufacturing or supplying specialised equipment for remote and challenging environments.
