This tender falls within the services industry category and is located in Glasgow, Scotland. The procurement procedure is classified as selective (restricted procedure), and the tender is currently in the active stage. Key dates include a tender period that ends on 1st March 2018 and a contract period expected to commence on 1st April 2018 and run for one year, with the option for two additional years. The total contract value is approximately £9.4 million. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses aimed at enhancing compliance with regulatory requirements, particularly those related to international trade in defence equipment. Businesses that specialise in technical services, compliance consulting, and information systems development would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, given the suitability criteria indicated for this tender. ## Notice The MOD complies with Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) regulatory requirements that are enshrined in UK Legislation. Working with Industry, it is also improving the ability to appropriately report on Assets Subject to Special Control (ASSC) which includes, but not limited to, the US International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), the UK-US Defence Trade Cooperation Treaty (DTCT) and the US Export Administration Regulations (EAR), other Foreign Military Sales (FMS) agreements or Memorandums of Understanding (MoU) for the import, re-export and re-transfer of Export Controlled equipment. EU Transition and the likely changes to the reporting requirement of ASSC (for example US Export Control Reforms) will require changes to MOD Policy, Process and Procedures (across Defence Commercial, Finance, Logistics and Technical Authorities) and the underpinning IS in order to maintain compliance and, where possible, improve the efficiency of that compliance. WATERGUARD requires technical support to develop and deliver these changes. This will include the production Equipment Breakdown Structures to identify controlled items, the business take on and development of the ASSC Service and the development and delivery of change to IS to increase automation and improve the efficiency of compliance throughout. This contract will be for one year with two, one year options. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c2ecd7bc-bb1f-481a-8037-6b4b8af683aa | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 31 Jan 2018 | | Submission deadline | 1 Mar 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2018 - 31 Mar 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £9 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF DEFENCE | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G2 8EX | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Anderston/City/Yorkhill | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow North | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71356300 - Technical support services ## Release History - 31 Jan 2018 at 11:17 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c2ecd7bc-bb1f-481a-8037-6b4b8af683aa ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c2ecd7bc-bb1f-481a-8037-6b4b8af683aa 31st January 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c1d1339f-bd5b-44db-9fc5-ac90a2a44830 TENDER HOCS1B/00017 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
