This procurement is classified under the CPV code for machine guns and takes place in Telford, United Kingdom. The tender was awarded on 29 June 2018 and the contract period runs from 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019. Interested suppliers were required to submit expressions of interest by 24 May 2018, adhering to a selective procurement method which follows a restricted procedure. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in defence supplies, particularly those that are experienced in supplying military-grade equipment and holding necessary quality certifications such as ISO 9001. Companies that meet the stringent requirements of providing ISO accreditation and a valid firearms licence are well-positioned to compete for the contract. Despite the competitive nature of this tender, the potential to establish a long-term relationship with a major buyer in the defence sector can lead to future growth and collaboration for successful bidders. ## Notice All items within scope are codified to NATO Stock Numbers (NSN's). Down-selected Tenderers shall be invited to submit bids for the Codification Support Information Systems (CSIS) (maintained by the United Kingdom National Codification Bureau) compliant parts. The compliant Manufacturer's Part Numbers (MPNs) are detailed on CSIS; further details can be found on the CSIS/UKNCB website. The Authority shall not issue drawings or specifications in connection with this requirement. Babcock DSG Ltd reserves the right to add items of a similar nature post Contract award. Expressions of interest in this requirement are to be submitted by e-mail to Julie.Gardner@babcockinternational.com with: 1) Evidence of appropriate ISO 9001:2008, ISO 9001:2015 or equivalent quality accreditation in a correct scope which is relevant to this requirement. The successful Contractor shall hold and maintain this certification for the duration of the Framework Agreement. If you do not hold this certification/accreditation but you have a Quality Management System (QMS) in place which is comparable to the above standards but not certified you must provide evidence of this QMS with your expression of interest. Failure to provide evidence of your ISO accreditation or comparable QMS in place (where accreditation does not exist) will result in the Authority rejecting your expression of interest and you will not be invited to Tender. Appropriate accreditation/certification shall be defined as certification issued by a Certification Body holding suitable accreditation, with the right scope, from a National Accreditation Body (NAB) who is a signatory to the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) or IAF Accredited Regional Multi-Lateral Agreements (MLA). 2) Evidence of a valid Firearms Licence.
