The contracting authority for this tender is the Defence Equipment Sales Authority (DESA), part of the Ministry of Defence, located in Bristol, UK. The procurement is at the tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 24th July 2020. This selective procurement process, using a negotiated procedure, has a budget ranging between £40 million and £50 million and falls within the classification of repair and maintenance services of security and defence materials. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in naval defence and maintenance, particularly those with expertise in vessel regeneration and sonar systems. Companies that specialise in military equipment repair, maintenance services, and those experienced in working with defence organisations would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The successful bidder will be responsible for delivering the regenerated vessel to an operational state aligned with the Lithuanian Navy's existing capabilities, thus opening up avenues for partnerships and strategic growth in the defence sector. ## Notice The Lithuanian Navy is looking to expand its fleet of Hunt Class Mine Counter Measures Vessel (MCMV) via procurement of a legacy hull from the Royal Navy and regeneration of said hull to an agreed Operational State, closely aligned to the Lithuanian Skalvis Class vessels currently in service with the LTU Navy. The Vessel will utilise the Sonar 2193 and the M-CUBE Mine Countermeasure Management System. The scope of this project is for a single entity to deliver the regenerated vessel, with stated mission and sonar systems to an agreed Operational condition. Prior to award of the contract, ownership of the vessel will pass to LTU. DESA is the contracting authority that will procure and enter into the contract. Immediately upon signature, the contract shall be novated to the Lithuanian Ministry of National Defence (LTU Defence Materiel Agency). From this point, LTU MND will become the contracting authority Additional information: To view this notice, register as a supplier here: http://www.contracts.mod.uk/delta/signup.html?userType=supplier and search for the notice with reference 'UK-Bristol: Repair and maintenance services of security and defence materials.'. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f1d05bc6-d1bf-4a75-aa7f-9f1b03a1d212 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Negotiated procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Jun 2020 | | Submission deadline | 24 Jul 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 May 2021 - 1 May 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000,000 | | 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 DEFENCE, LAND EQUIPMENT, DEFENCE EQUIPMENT SALES AUTHORITY (DESA) | | 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 | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 50 - Repair and maintenance services ### Codes - 50600000 - Repair and maintenance services of security and defence materials ## Release History - 26 Jun 2020 at 13:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f1d05bc6-d1bf-4a75-aa7f-9f1b03a1d212 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f1d05bc6-d1bf-4a75-aa7f-9f1b03a1d212 26th June 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.contracts.mod.uk/delta/signup.html?userType=supplier ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
