This procurement falls under the classification of goods, specifically dealing with parts of light firearms. The location for delivery is the United Kingdom, and this limited procurement method involves a negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice. The contract has an estimated value of £4.5 million and is intended to span a maximum period of seven years, with the award dated 7th February 2022. This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the defence and firearms accessories sector, particularly those specialising in supply chain provisions for military-grade equipment. Companies that manufacture or supply parts and accessories compatible with Glock pistols or have capabilities in similar light weaponry may find this tender particularly relevant. As Viking Arms Limited holds the exclusive rights to supply these spares in the UK, competing effectively for this framework agreement may require a strong technical capability and established relationships within the defence supply chain. ## Notice Babcock Land Defence Ltd, acting as agent on behalf of the UK Ministry of Defence, intends to place a single source framework agreement for the supply of spares and accessories for the Glock Pistol and Radar Holsters with Viking Arms Limited at the estimated aggregate contract value of PS4.5M in sterling currency for a maximum period of 7 years. ### Procurement Information Babcock Land Defence Ltd, acting as agent for the UK Ministry of Defence (UK MoD), intends to place a single source framework agreement for the supply of spares for the Glock Pistol with Viking Arms Ltd. The duration of the proposed framework agreement is 7 years and has an initial estimated value of PS4.5M. It is considered that this single source framework agreement can be placed using the negotiated procedure without prior publication pursuant to Regulations 16(1)(a)(ii) and 16(1)(b)(i) of the Defence and Security Public Contractors 2011 for technical reasons and interoperability from sourcing spares from a supplier other than Viking Arms Ltd. The original equipment manufacturer is Glock. Glock has granted Viking Arms Ltd sole and exclusive rights in the United Kingdom. The UK MoD does not have access to nor any rights to use design and manufacture documentation in relation to the Glock Pistol. Without access to this technical information the UK MoD is not in a position to be able to identify the exact technical requirements for the manufacture of spares which would put the performance of the equipment and the safety of the users of the equipment at significant risk. There are no equivalent products, reasonable substitutes or alternatives to the specification, that have the same functional and interoperability requirements. This notice is not a request for expressions of interest so please do not apply to be invited to tender. Babcock Land Defence Ltd, acting as agent for the UK MoD, is to negotiate a single source contract with Viking Arms Ltd. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/005477-2022 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Negotiated without publication of a contract notice | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Feb 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 7 Feb 2022 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £31,500,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BABCOCK LAND DEFENCE LIMITED | | Locality | MOD DONNINGTON | | Post town | Telford | | Postcode | TF2 8JT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG2 Shropshire and Staffordshire | | ITL 3 | TLG21 Telford and Wrekin | | Local authority | Telford and Wrekin | | Electoral ward | Donnington | | Westminster constituency | The Wrekin | | Delivery location | TLG21 Telford and Wrekin | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | VIKING ARMS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 35 - Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment ### Codes - 35341000 - Parts of light firearms ## Release History - 28 Feb 2022 at 22:45 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/005477-2022 ## Notice URLs - http://www.babcockinternational.com - http://www.vikingarms.com ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
