This initiative falls under the industry category of goods, specifically focusing on tankers (CPV code: 34133100). The procurement method employed was a limited tender, specifically negotiated without the publication of a contract notice, relating to the existing Wheeled Tanker In Service Support (ISS) contract. The contract extension, valued at £10 million inclusive of VAT, was officially awarded on 9th September 2021, following the necessary legal and technical considerations set forth by UK defence regulations. This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of spares, repairs, and engineering support services, particularly those with expertise in military and defence logistics. Companies that possess the technical capability to meet stringent safety and operational standards, especially those with prior experience in supporting defence equipment, will find themselves well-positioned to compete. Given the critical nature of the services required, opportunities may also arise for businesses focusing on research and development related to defence technologies, further opening avenues for growth in this specialised market. ## Notice 16-month extension to the existing Wheeled Tanker In Service Support (ISS) contract (CSVHSC/06) for the provision of spares, repairs, engineering support and Post Design Services ### Lot Information Lot 1 16-month extension to the existing Wheeled Tanker In Service Support (ISS) contract (CSVHSC/06) for the provision of spares, repairs, engineering support and Post Design Services ### Procurement Information The Vehicle Support Team (VST) - part of the Defence, Equipment and Support (DE&S) organisation within the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) - intends to award to Oshkosh Defense LLC a 16-month extension to the existing Wheeled Tanker In Service Support (ISS) contract (CSVHSC/06) for the provision of spares, repairs, engineering support and Post Design Services, prior to the negotiation on a replacement contract. The estimated value of this contract extension is PS10M inclusive of VAT. It is considered that the contract can be extended using the Negotiated Procedure without prior publication of a Contract Notice pursuant to Article 28(1) (e) of Directive 2009/81/EC (Regulation 16(1) (a) (ii) of the UK Defence and Security Public Contract Regulations 2011) for technical reasons, ensuring that the current fleet is continued to be maintained and reducing the potential impact to the safe and reliable operation of the entire vehicle fleet. Only the Contractor, as the Design Authority and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for the Wheeled Tanker system has access to the technical information, expertise, knowledge and know-how necessary to provide the Authority with assurance that the operational effectiveness and safety of the platform will not be compromised. A third party would not be able to carry out this work without access to the necessary design and technical information which is required to ensure the goods are produced to the correct technical specification, in terms of quality, performance and safety. The Services being procured under this contract are safety critical to the operation of the platform and so must be produced to the correct specification, held only by Oshkosh Defence LLC. This information is not available to the Authority as it is owned by the Contractor in their role as the OEM and the Authority does not have the necessary rights to that information to provide to any third party. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/022468-2021 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Negotiated without publication of a contract notice | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Sep 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 8 Sep 2021 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £10,000,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF DEFENCE | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Not specified | | Postcode | N/A | | Country | Not specified | | ITL 1 | Not specified | | ITL 2 | Not specified | | ITL 3 | Not specified | | Local authority | Not specified | | Electoral ward | Not specified | | Westminster constituency | Not specified | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | OSHKOSH DEFENSE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation ### Codes - 34133100 - Tankers ## Release History - 9 Sep 2021 at 21:45 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/022468-2021 ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ministry-of-defence ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
