## Summary

The Ministry of Defence, located in Bristol, has recently completed a procurement process for the role of Independent Safety Advisor (IA) under the tender ID FTS/D/TSSP/076. This service, classified under Technical support services with a CPV code of 71356300, aims to provide specialist safety and environmental support until the contract expires on 31st March 2018. The contract, valued at £54,000, was awarded to Frazer-Nash Consultancy after a selective procurement method was employed, following the restricted procedure. The tender period concluded on 27th March 2017, and the contract commenced on 21st June 2017, indicating the planned progression of service fulfilment.

This contract offers significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in safety and environmental consultancy services.

Given that SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) are encouraged to participate, firms with qualified personnel can leverage this type of opportunity to strengthen their market position and expand their client base within the public sector.
