Description

The Scope of the Contract is:

Provision & Supply of Goods & Services - The Contractor is required to provide support to various low-value, non-complex procurement requirements. The Contractor shall support the Authority with recurring and non-recurring ad-hoc requirements that cannot be sourced via any other MOD or Government Contracts or Framework agreements. There will be no minimum Task value. The maximum value for each Tasking issued under this Tasking arrangement will be limited to the Public Contracting Regulations (PCR 2015) threshold which is currently £116,406 (ex VAT), £139,688 (inc. VAT). The Contractor shall provide a procurement service to survey the Supply Chain and source various goods and services on behalf of the Authority including all DM sites. The DM sites are; Beith, Crombie, Glen Douglas, Gosport, Kineton (Main Site), Kineton Design, Development & Prototyping (DD&P), Longtown, Plymouth and Wulfen. The Contractor shall be responsible for delivering the goods and services required by the Authority. For the avoidance of doubt, the Authority's contractual relationship shall be with the Contractor only. Therefore, the Contractor shall be responsible for the contractual agreements with suitable Suppliers identified for the provision of good and services.

Scope of Requirements - The scope of this Contract requirement is expected to cover, but not be limited to; air compressor equipment, clothing, DIY equipment and consumables (glues, paints, brushes, for example), fire safety equipment, health and safety equipment (defibrillators, first aid supplies for example), IT requirements (non-MODNET / DII only), manufacturing materials (woods, metals, fittings for example), mechanical handling equipment (MHE), packaging equipment and materials, personal protective equipment (PPE), repair and maintenance requirements on-site at Defence Munitions, toiletries (soaps, toilet paper, paper towels, for example), workshop tooling supply, repair, maintenance and calibration and Post Design Services (PDS). The Scope of Requirements will specifically not cover consultancy, infrastructure (works) requirements, IT requirements (MODNET / DII), quality assurance requirements, safety requirements, transportation requirements, warlike stores, waste removal requirements.

Delivery of Procurement Requirements - There is no 'core' activity, nor fixed/guaranteed throughput under this Contract. All requirements are to be considered 'non-core' and shall be raised on an ad-hoc basis in accordance with an Ad-Hoc Tasking Process, and each new requirement will constitute a Task. The Contractor shall only be allowed to apply a pre-agreed Service Fee on top of each quote received for each ad-hoc Task. This Service Fee may be adjusted through the term of the Contract in accordance with Key Performance Indicator (KPI) Incentives and Remedy Clauses.
