Additional or repeat goods, services or works - extension or partial replacement
The Ministry of Defence intends to award a contract to Logic Manufacturing Limited for the supply of spare parts for Quad Trailer model SMT172B (Trailer). The contract will be for a period of up to 8 years (5 years plus 3 options to extend by a year) and have a value of up to £570k.
It is considered that this contract can be awarded under section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023 because the direct award justification specified in para 7 of Schedule 5 (repeat goods) applies. This is because this is a repeat purchase of spare parts for the Trailer, which is a military variant of a civilian platform, and the spare parts are manufactured bespoke by Logic Manufacturing Limited. Spare parts manufactured by another supplier would therefore be incompatible with the Trailer, resulting in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation.
This notice is not a request for expressions of interest so please do not apply to be invited to tender. Babcock Land Defence Limited is to negotiate a single source Contract with the named supplier Logic Manufacturing Limited, Foundry Industrial Estate, Bridge End, Hexham, Northumberland, NE46 4JL, United Kingdom.
Babcock Land Defence Limited acting as Agent on behalf of the Ministry of Defence reserves the right that upon cessation of this contract, if required, a new contract for the supply of goods be awarded to the existing supplier in accordance with section 41(6) of the Procurement Act 2023 utilising Schedule 5 paragraphs 7 (a) & (b).
Babcock Land Defence Limited is acting as Agent on behalf of the Ministry of Defence. In the first instance interested parties may contact Babcock with queries relating to this procurement.’
