The tender, titled "FOR TRANSPARENCY PURPOSES ONLY - The provision of Technical Support to the UK Link 16 Frequency Clearance Agreement (FCA)", was published on 8th August 2018 and has a contract value of approximately £869,716. The procurement method used was a selective tendering process, and the tender period ended on 13th September 2018. The contract commenced on 7th November 2018 and is set to conclude on 6th November 2020, with the work centred in the South West region of the United Kingdom. This opportunity may be particularly beneficial for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in technical consultancy and support services within the defence sector. The restrictive nature of the procurement process suggests that the selected businesses must demonstrate significant experience and capability in delivering similar services. Companies engaged in technical analysis or consultancy, particularly within defence technology, should consider competing for future opportunities of this nature to enhance their business growth and expand their service offerings. ## Notice The provision of Technical Support to the UK Link 16 Frequency Clearance Agreement (FCA). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/56accea3-53f1-4722-a18f-cd9ef5ad7e56 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Dec 2018 | | Submission deadline | 13 Sep 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 6 Nov 2018 | | Contract period | 7 Nov 2018 - 6 Nov 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £869,716 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £835,150 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF DEFENCE | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS34 8JH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK52 Bath & North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire | | Local authority | South Gloucestershire | | Electoral ward | Stoke Park & Cheswick | | Westminster constituency | Filton and Bradley Stoke | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | JCSYS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71356300 - Technical support services - 71621000 - Technical analysis or consultancy services ## Release History - 6 Dec 2018 at 14:23 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/56accea3-53f1-4722-a18f-cd9ef5ad7e56 - 6 Dec 2018 at 14:20 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/56accea3-53f1-4722-a18f-cd9ef5ad7e56 - 8 Aug 2018 at 13:11 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c79f4bc3-8d78-4761-9b45-e4b007cd3686 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/56accea3-53f1-4722-a18f-cd9ef5ad7e56 6th December 2018 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c79f4bc3-8d78-4761-9b45-e4b007cd3686 8th August 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9272c087-af29-49ec-8028-23f02ba22f1a Estimated_Procurement_Timescales - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/aeb08e34-73d3-4532-9fea-ccb11294b70c Invitaiton_to_Tender_SACC00047_ DEFFORM_47 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e4c9c9fb-38a7-4ce8-a167-ac0faf45436e Invitaiton_to_Tender_SACC00047_ SC2AB_FCA_DRAFT_Terms_Conditions - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/21dffa6b-1dba-451f-8e2c-ba40babea56a Invitaiton_to_Tender_SACC00047_ SC2AB_FCA_DRAFT_Terms_Conditions_SCHEDULES - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9081f08a-2837-4e1e-a00b-527c8823e4a9 Actual_Procurement_Timelines - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/faeb6fcb-8574-4aa8-a5e8-250cc60fd51f SACC/00047_Terms_and_Conditions - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ac933711-964a-48e6-8c0a-1a602c0b8c24 SACC/00047_Contract_Schedules ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
