## Summary

The procurement process is conducted by the Ministry of Defence for the provision, installation, and maintenance of two logistic storage machines for the RAF Lossiemouth Atlantic Building, with a contract value of £157,200. This is categorized under goods, specifically for carousel storage and retrieval machines. The procurement method employed is limited, with the contract being awarded through a negotiated process without the publication of a contract notice. The contract was signed on 8 June 2022 and the awarded supplier is Kardex Systems (UK) Ltd. Delivery is expected at RAF Lossiemouth in Scotland.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in logistics automation, storage solutions, and maintenance services to engage with a major governmental authority. Companies with expertise in producing compatible equipment tailored to the MOD's specific operational requirements, particularly those familiar with fire-suppression systems and interoperability with existing models, would be well-suited to compete in future processes. As the MOD continues to evolve its logistics capabilities, there's potential for growth in partnerships that enhance operational efficiency and safety.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Delivery of 2 * storage modules, integrated software and complete with accessories. Provide 2-year parts, labour, service and repair warranty for both Hardware and Software.

### Procurement Information

The Authority proposes to enter into a contract with the above named supplier on a single source basis in accordance with regulation 32(2)(b) and 32(5)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. In order to meet the Authority's requirement the equipment to be purchased has to be the same model, dimension and have the same operating system type as the machine already sited at the required location to permit the interoperability between the equipment to ensure the ability to quickly locate common spares and compatibility with existing Authority storage equipment. The current system contains an in-built fire-suppression system which is an Authority requirement and critical to operational safety. Procuring different equipment would oblige the Authority to acquire supplies having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties where the consequence of having a different model would result in an unacceptable reduction in operational effectiveness and safety and increases the resource and training burden.
