This contract falls under the procurement consultancy services category and has an estimated value of £5 million. The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with the deadline for submitting tenders extended to 13 December 2019. The contract period is expected to commence on 10 February 2020 and conclude on 9 February 2022. The procurement is being conducted through a selective method, specifically a restricted procedure, focusing on low-value procurement transactions up to £50,000 that are not covered by other government contracts. This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their presence in government contracting, particularly in the South West region of the United Kingdom. Businesses specialising in procurement consultancy and low-value procurement services would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. The streamlined approach to low-risk requirements may allow suppliers to increase their contract wins while contributing to the efficiency of the Ministry of Defence's procurement processes. ## Notice Text to be corrected in the original notice: Place of text to be modified: IV.2.2 Instead of: Time limit for receipt of tenders or requests to participate Date: 05/12/2019 Time: 12:00 Read: Time limit for receipt of tenders or requests to participate Date: 13/12/2019 Time: 12:00 The Defence Munitions Commercial Team, part of the Weapons Operating Centre in DE&S has an upcoming requirement for an Equipment and Support Provider (ESSP). The ESSP is required to support Defence Munitions with low value procurement, (transactions up to PS50,000.00 ex.VAT), for non recurring requirements that cannot be sourced via any other MOD or Government Contracts or Frameworks. The ESSP has been identified by Defence Munitions Commercial to provide a more streamlined and efficient route to market for low-value, low risk requirements, and to reduce the number of regular transactions via Government Electronic Procurement Card (ePC).
