## Summary

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has completed a procurement process titled "Supply of Technical Services relating to Ordnance Proofing" within the repair and maintenance services industry category. The procurement was aimed at securing independent ordnance proof testing at licensed facilities to support weapon systems. The contract, valued at £70,000 and awarded on 19th November 2024, will run until 18th November 2029. The MoD followed a limited procurement method, specifically a negotiated procedure without prior publication, due to the nature and scale of the services required. The delivery locations for this contract include the United Kingdom, Europe, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, and other global regions.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in technical and ordnance proofing services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with relevant expertise are particularly well-suited to compete, given the specificity and scale of the contract. The contract awarded to Birmingham Proof House underscores the MoD's commitment to engaging capable suppliers who can deliver independent and reliable ordnance proof testing. Businesses looking to expand their portfolio in the defence sector or those seeking to provide high-quality maintenance services can benefit greatly from engaging in similar procurement opportunities.
