The procurement method used was a direct single tender action. The contract period runs from December 18, 2023, to December 17, 2028. The contract was awarded to CHANDLERS (FARM EQUIPMENT) LIMITED. The location for the contract is in England, United Kingdom. This tender for the service contract presents business growth opportunities for companies involved in servicing specialist vehicles like tractors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The award of this contract signifies the importance of maintaining relationships with suppliers, as demonstrated by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory's reliance on Chandlers Farm Equipment for their service needs. ## Notice 5 Year service contract for Valtra Tractor. We are looking to buy the 5 year service contract from Chandlers Farm equipment as they were the suppliers of the equipment and we have established a good working relationship with them. We also purchased an extended warranty from Chandlers for our new tractor, which Chandler's will enable. To ensure that we do no contravene warranty T&C we also need to ensure that the tractor is serviced correctly and does not lapse in its service schedule. Chandler's have set this up already at time of purchase with the Valtra Connect care package, which they are handing for us. As part of the sale package for the tractor a portion of the first service was included in the price, the remainder of the package will cover the items not included. Going elsewhere for servicing means that we would have paid for part servicing already and would not get the benefit of this if we did not continue to service with Chandlers and pay for complete service iteration elsewhere. Lastly, if we need to justify VFM with this purchase of a 5 year plan then it is good value when compared to pay as you go charging models, where process increase over time, for both labour costs and the consumables involved. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1327a97a-3eec-493a-a250-a525fc9349a7 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Single tender action (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Feb 2024 | | Submission deadline | 17 Dec 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 17 Dec 2023 | | Contract period | 18 Dec 2023 - 17 Dec 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £10,984 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEFENCE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY LABORATORY | | Locality | SALISBURY | | Post town | Salisbury | | Postcode | SP4 0JQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK72 Wiltshire | | Local authority | Wiltshire | | Electoral ward | Winterslow & Upper Bourne Valley | | Westminster constituency | Salisbury | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | CHANDLERS (FARM EQUIPMENT | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation ### Codes - 34114000 - Specialist vehicles ## Release History - 26 Feb 2024 at 10:13 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1327a97a-3eec-493a-a250-a525fc9349a7 - 11 Jan 2024 at 10:37 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1327a97a-3eec-493a-a250-a525fc9349a7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1327a97a-3eec-493a-a250-a525fc9349a7 26th February 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d384a987-c118-4592-8054-7e46df6e7863 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
