The requirement covers 46 items, including camouflage covers, for supply across the United Kingdom. Items are identified by NATO Stock Numbers, and the supplier must provide them to specifications and applicable compliance standards set out in the tender. The procurement is for goods under a framework agreement, rather than a single defined purchase. Similar items may be added to the agreement after award. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers and distributors able to supply military camouflage materials and related equipment to the stated technical specifications. The buyer invited offers through a two-stage competitive flexible procedure: suppliers first complete a Procurement Specific Questionnaire, and those selected are invited to submit a full tender. Expressions of interest were due by 20 October 2026 at 16:00; clarification questions were due by 12 October 2026 at 16:00. The expected award decision date was 1 February 2027. The framework term runs from 14 February 2027 to 13 July 2035. The estimated value is £9,918,000 excluding VAT (£11,901,600 including VAT). There is one lot and the framework is intended for a single supplier, with no further competition when contracts are awarded. Evaluation is weighted 60% price, 30% technical quality and 10% social value. This opportunity suits suppliers with the capacity to provide a broad range of defence camouflage items and manage an extended, single-supplier framework. Strong technical responses will need to address supply-chain management, contract coverage, price control, lead times, availability, delivery performance, counterfeit prevention and obsolescence. Suppliers must be able to meet the item specifications and applicable compliance standards, using the NATO Stock Numbers supplied for the requirement. The Authority will assess participation questionnaires against their stated selection criteria and intends to shortlist only suppliers providing all mandatory information and not subject to mandatory exclusion. The tender also rewards commitments to fair pay and working conditions, and to creating employment and training opportunities, particularly for people facing barriers to employment. ## Notice Babcock Land Defence Limited - acting as agent to the UK Ministry of Defence ("the Authority") has under consideration a 8 Year Framework Agreement for IRM26/7751 The Supply of Thermal Camouflage Sheets & Associated Items CPV codes applicable to this contract are: 39522200 Camouflage covers This Framework Agreement includes 46 items identified as being in scope.
