## Summary

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has completed the procurement of GLADIUS User Filled Off Route Mine (ORM) systems, a project titled "713756451 User Filled Off Route Mines (ORM)." This initiative addresses a capability gap in lethal barriers (mines) and aims to enhance military readiness and interoperability, supporting NATO operations. The procurement involves a limited negotiated procedure with Alford Technologies Ltd as the supplier. The project's value is approximately £1,000,000, and the contract runs from 6 February 2025 to 31 March 2025. The delivery location is the South East region of the United Kingdom, classified under the industry category "Goods" with a focus on land mines (CPV 35331400).

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for companies experienced in defence and security contracts. Alford Technologies Ltd, the original equipment manufacturer and intellectual property owner of the GLADIUS system, has been uniquely positioned to fulfill this requirement, highlighting the importance of technical expertise and proprietary technology in securing such contracts. Businesses specialising in military equipment manufacturing, particularly those focusing on interoperability and operational resilience, will find this contract exceptionally relevant. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and large-scale suppliers not only benefit from the direct economic impact but also from the potential for long-term collaboration with the MoD and other NATO forces.

## Notice

Procurement of GLADIUS User Filled Off Route Mine systems will mitigate a current capability gap in Lethal Barriers (mines). This procurement directly increases lethality by providing a means for defensive actions, offensive ambush and sabotage. This equipment will be used to support training, capability development and to bolster NATO readiness and interoperability for operations. Procurement of a user-filled mine system, identical to in-service systems, will minimise Defence Lines of Development (DLOD) impacts and align with the existing safety case for in-service systems. The GLADIUS system is in use with multiple elements of UK Armed Forces and eleven other NATO nations, presenting opportunities for shared knowledge, training, and interoperability whilst on operations with common spares which will increase operational resilience.
