The requirement is for the supply of goods; the tender description directs suppliers to the Invitation to Tender for the full specification. The units are for delivery in the United Kingdom. This is a single-lot requirement, managed by the Ministry of Defence. The published description identifies the Cyber Security Model risk assessment as Level 1. The procurement concerns physical modular support units rather than a stated service or construction project, so suppliers should assess the detailed technical requirements in the tender documents against their product range and ability to supply the units. The buyer invited tenders through an open procedure. The tender deadline set was 20 November 2026 at 10:00, and the deadline for enquiries was 9 November 2026 at 17:00. The planned award decision date was 1 December 2026. The contract period is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 31 March 2030. The stated procurement value is £4,999,994.50 excluding VAT (£5,999,993.40 including VAT). The contract allows additional purchases and an extension option; the lot description sets an initial value of £833,332.50 excluding VAT, with the option to increase the value for further goods. Tenders are assessed to identify the most advantageous offer, using financial and technical evaluation. Economic and technical selection criteria also apply; detailed scoring and requirements are in the Invitation to Tender. This opportunity may suit suppliers of modular support units and storage containers, including small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises, which are expressly considered suitable. Suppliers need to demonstrate that they meet the economic and technical selection requirements and can offer a competitive combination of price and technical quality. The requirement involves a substantial supply of physical goods, with scope for additional purchases, so bidders should be equipped to fulfil the specified unit requirements and manage delivery reliably. The stated cyber risk level is Level 1. The tender data does not set out particular accreditations, production capacity thresholds or prior-experience requirements; suppliers should check the Invitation to Tender for the specific qualification, product and delivery requirements before deciding whether to bid. ## Notice Procurement of Bulk Modular Support Units (MSUs) - for full details please see attached ITT document.
