## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has completed a procurement process for the provision of Critical and Long Lead Spares within the security and defence industry category. The contract, valued at £37,849, was awarded to ShawCor UK Limited, following a direct procurement method classified as a single tender action due to its value being below the specified threshold. The contract period commenced on 15 October 2020 and concludes on 10 December 2020. This process, which reached the award stage on 6 October 2020, predominantly took place in Scotland.

This procurement presents a valuable opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), seeking to engage in the defence sector. Companies with experience in supplying critical and long lead spares or repair and maintenance services would be especially well-suited to leverage such opportunities. The successful supplier, ShawCor UK Limited, exemplifies the required scale for participation, but the tendering process allows smaller firms to enter the market and potentially foster partnerships with larger entities.
