Located in Porton Down, Salisbury, this tender is currently in the Tender stage, with the submission period closing on 1st April 2021. The estimated total value of this framework agreement is between £3 million and £5 million (excluding VAT). The procurement method employed is selective, allowing for a structured evaluation of bidders, with plans to invite a specified number of candidates to the next stage on 15th April 2021. This framework agreement presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the engineering services sector, particularly those specialising in machining, fabrication, or electro-mechanical engineering. Companies that are adept at delivering bespoke services and have the capacity to respond effectively to tight deadlines are well-suited to compete in this tender. By forming strong relationships and demonstrating flexibility in their approach, potential bidders can position themselves to secure valuable contracts that may support their growth and enhance their service offering within the defence sector. ## Notice The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) is seeking to establish a multi-supplier framework agreement for the provision of engineering services. Dstl undertake a variety of Machining, Fabrication and Electro-Mechanical engineering activities in support of Tasks placed on the organisation within a dynamic Defence environment. The range of Tasks dictates the type, scale and sensitivity of requirements on a case-by-case basis, and is often requested within very tight timescales. To fulfil these Tasks, Dstl adopts a flexible, responsive and adaptable approach to each, which requires working closely with its supply base; building a strong working relationship is key to achieving the desired outcomes. This Framework Agreement (FA) is to provide a range of Engineering Services and Support, delivering prototypes, small batch projects and trials support across the full breadth of Dstl programmes of work, managed through the Dstl Engineering Capability. The majority of requirements will involve bespoke services, however goods, services and on occasion off the shelf items may be requested. The Framework Agreement is divided into three Lots: - Lot 1: Machining - Lot 2: Fabrication - Lot 3: Electro-Mechanical Bidders may submit a DSPQQ response in relation to one or more of these three Lots. Quantity or scope: The estimated total value of this Framework Agreement (all Lots), including the 2-year extension period, is in the region of PS3,000,000 - PS5,000,000 (excl. VAT) This is based on an estimated value for all Lots of PS420,000 - PS720,000 (excl. VAT) per annum. ### Lot Information Lot 1: Machining Details of the service requirements under this Lot can be found in the Statement of Requirement (SoR) Additional information: The Contracting Authority intends to use an e-Tendering system in this procurement exercise, please visit www.contracts.mod.uk for full details and to register your interest in this procurement.
