## Summary

The procurement process is led by UK Shared Business Services Limited, seeking to acquire a wheeled loader for the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), which operates in the scientific sector focused on Antarctic research. This requirement is essential for continuing snow clearing operations and managing cargo logistics during ship visits to Rothera. The contract, valued at £324,080, was awarded after a negotiated procedure following an unsuccessful open tender. The award is marked as active as of 14th December 2017, with the contract period running from 15th December 2017 to 31st March 2018. Delivery is set for the South East region of the United Kingdom, and the procurement category falls under goods with a CPV code of 34113200, categorising it as all-terrain vehicles.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in heavy machinery and logistics, particularly those experienced in providing equipment for challenging environments. Companies that focus on the design, supply, or servicing of all-terrain vehicles would be well-suited to explore similar contracts in the future. The nature of the procurement method—limited and negotiated—indicates that suppliers familiar with direct negotiations and providing tailored machinery for unique operational settings, such as those in the Antarctic, could benefit significantly from engaging with BAS and the UK Shared Business Services Limited in upcoming contracts.

## Notice

THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION - Contract awarded via negotiated procedure following unsuccessful open tender procedure (below OJEU The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) carries out an ambitious and challenging programme of science. This is supported by a fleet of five aircraft, specially adapted to operate in the extreme Antarctic climate and two ships visiting Rothera annually during the Antarctic. BAS has a requirement to procure a new Wheeled Loader to ensure that the snow clearing operations of priority areas and assist in cargo logistics during ship calls at Rothera can continue. It is critical that specifications are met paying particular attention to cargo logistics operation. During cargo ship calls the Wheeled loader will be operated on predominantly level ground with occasional small pot holes on gravel hard standing. Main purpose is to lift 20ft ISO containers with machine fork attachment through container fork pockets at container max weight 15000kg from ground level to storage area 50m to 100m away from ship and placed at ground level. Amount of containers to be moved is approximately 20 units.
