The tender, valued at £3.3 million, is currently in the planning stage, with a deadline for expressions of interest set for 12:00 noon on 3rd February 2020. The contract is anticipated to commence on 31st July 2020 and will last for four years, including an additional maintenance provision extending to 10 years. Interested parties can submit their proposals based on the requirements outlined in the notice. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in security equipment and technology, specifically those with expertise in manufacturing metal detectors and related installations. Companies that qualify as Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are particularly well-suited to compete, as the Ministry seeks to engage directly with those controlling the means of manufacture. The successful supplier will not only fulfil the initial equipment supply but will also provide ongoing support and maintenance, making this a valuable contract for businesses looking to establish a long-term relationship with a key government agency. ## Notice Supply of Metal Detection: Combined ferro and non-ferromagnetic archway for the period of 4 years with additional maintenance provision for 10 Years past the last purchase period. Additional information: The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) is exploring the capability and capacity of the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) market for the supply of a dual sensor ferro and non-ferro magnetic metal detection archways. The MoJ are taking this approach in order to support our estate for the duration of the Agreement and estimated asset life of the equipment. The requirement for an archway which can detect both ferro and non-ferro magnetic metals is important due to the type of contraband that target individuals attempt to smuggle into the prison estate. We require this capability because: - Counter-measures must be capable of mitigating multiple threat types which include both a range of metallic threat types as well as mobile phones which contain ferro-magnetic metals. Our requirements are designed to provide flexibility in being able to manage discrimination levels independently. - Our requirements are designed to support our staff in performing their duties, include through multi-zone visual alerts and audio alerts. - Our strategy is to deploy equipment which maximises our full capacity by minimising the number of solutions deployed at targeted gates - There is considerable variation in prison design including our gates and in a number of cases we have space restrictions in the design of our gates. A combined solution offers us the opportunity to make the best use of space at our gates and minimise, wherever possible, costly building works and reduce power consumption. - Our requirements and approach supports the development of updated and new HMPPS Custodial technical and procedural standards MoJ would require related services including: general and project support, delivery, installation, planned and reactive maintenance regime (which conform to MoJ requirements and include transparency of lead times and pricing). Business demands and funding means that should there be evidenced market capability that acquisition can be completed, delivered to the UK and ready for installation of a bulk purchase of the equipment no later than the end of June 2020. MoJ invites expressions of interest (EOI) to the email address in this notice by 12:00 Noon on Monday 3rd February 2020. On receiving an EOI MoJ will issue a Confidentiality Agreement for electronic return before issuing a draft specification and short questionnaire which will require Suppliers to provide, at minimum: 1. Supplier company and contact details including confirmation and/or evidence of OEM status (note: we do not accept producers who, in general, do not control the means of manufacture or own the IPR to the product. MoJ's strategy of engagement with OEMs allows improved control of the supply chain and reduces risk in asset management); and 2. Technical data and evidence for a product which meets the outline requirement of this notice or the draft specification MoJ will issue Nothing within the notice commits the MoJ to conduct a tender exercise or enter into an Agreement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b32f5054-f989-4e15-86d8-7f45275db178 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Jan 2020 | | Submission deadline | 3 Feb 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jul 2020 - 30 Jul 2034 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £3,300,000 | | 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 JUSTICE. | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS1 4AP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Hunslet & Riverside | | Westminster constituency | Leeds South | | Delivery location | TLL Wales, TLM Scotland, TLN Northern Ireland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38582000 - X-ray inspection equipment ## Release History - 23 Jan 2020 at 16:38 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b32f5054-f989-4e15-86d8-7f45275db178 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b32f5054-f989-4e15-86d8-7f45275db178 23rd January 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://ministryofjusticecommercial.bravosolution.co.uk Link to eSourcing Portal ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
