## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has conducted a limited procurement process for the "702630460 - Edgar Brothers Combined Support Services Contract", focusing on services related to the repair and maintenance of weapons, specifically rifles used by the UK Armed Forces. The contract has a value of £10 million and will run for five years, starting from its signing on 15 July 2022. The main delivery location for the services is in the UK, with the provision of technical support, repair, and potential supply of additional rifles being key components of the contract.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in defence services, particularly those specialising in weaponry repair and maintenance. Companies with capabilities in technical support and equipment services for military applications would be ideally positioned to compete for such contracts. The procurement process, which was negotiated without a public contract notice, limits competition to selected suppliers, potentially increasing the chances for qualified businesses to secure a long-term contract with a significant financial commitment from the Ministry of Defence.

## Notice

The Authority intends to award a single-source framework arrangement contract to Ian Edgar (Liverpool) Ltd for the provision of combined support, supply and repair services in respect of their supplied in-service rifles and spares used by the UK Armed Forces Commands Soldiers. These weapons include: the Low Signature Assault Weapon variants, Cadet Small Bore Target Rifle, and the Long Range Precision Anti-Structure Rifle variants. The contract will be for a 5-year period and will include the provision of a technical support and repair/maintenance service and will enable the procurement of additional in-service rifles, if required.
