This tender is classified under the services category, particularly focusing on the repair and maintenance services of precision equipment. The tender period concluded on 20th October 2017, while the associated contract is set to commence on 2nd January 2018, with an end date of 2nd January 2020. The maximum contract value is £113,000, and it will be awarded through a selective and negotiated procurement method. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in technical maintenance and repair services, particularly those with expertise in precision instrumentation and military equipment. Since the contract will be awarded to a single source supplier that meets stringent technical regulations, businesses with in-depth knowledge and capabilities related to the design and manufacture of range instrumentation systems could strongly compete. Moreover, companies equipped to fulfill specific requirements with unique calibration tools and software access are well-positioned to leverage this opportunity to grow and expand in the defence contracting sector. ## Notice NOTE: This notice was updated on 11 January 2019 for the following reason: Update to Advert to reflect change in dates and requirement due to delay.(**FOR TRANSPARENCY PURPOSES ONLY** The Vehicle Demonstration & Manufacture delivery team, is part of the Ministry of Defence (MOD), and is seeking to place a single source contract with MS Instruments (MSI) Ltd for the maintenance and repair of Range Instrumentation (RI), including optical velocity measuring systems, metrology sensors and ruggedized processors, not exceeding the value of PS40,000. The Range Instrumentation in question was procured as an off-the-shelf item through Contract MATT/SV/003 from the aforementioned supplier. The MoD considers that the Repair and Maintenance of Range Instrumentation Contract can be awarded under Regulation 16(1)(a)(ii) DSPCR 2011 for technical reasons. MSI Ltd are the Design Authority (DA) and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the RI and have extensive in depth knowledge and technical know-how of the design, interface and operation of the RI system. MSI Ltd have the required access to the necessary software and unique calibration equipment to carry out the requirements of the Contract.
