Description

Babcock Land Defence Ltd - acting as agent to the UK MoD ("the Authority") - has under consideration a 7 year multi-supplier Framework Agreement for the Supply of Fabricated Parts.

All items within the scope of requirement are codified to NATO Stock Numbers (NSNs). Tenderers shall be provided with NATO Stock Numbers and shall be informed of any required applicable compliance standards. Tenderers shall be expected to provide items which comply with the requirements of CSIS (the Codification Support Information Systems maintained by the United Kingdom National Codification Bureau).

This Contract is intended to include c.1100 items identified as being fabricated parts supporting UK MoD's vehicle fleet with an advertised contract value of between £15 million and £20 million.

The Contract shall be awarded to the 4 bidders who provide the most economically advantageous tenders based on the basket of goods provided in Annex A to Schedule 2 - Price List and responses to the Obsolescence, Quality and Social Values questions.

The basket of goods provided within Annex A to Schedule 2 - Price List, represents 200 items which account for over 30% of forecast value for the Contract. It is anticipated that the remaining 70% of forecast items by volume and value, which are all aligned to the scope and characteristics of this Contract, will be added to Contract via a satisfactory RFQ process with the successful bidders in 2 phases following Contract Award. The Phased approach is below:

Phase 1: c200 NSNs
Phase 2: c700 NSNs
Phase 3: c200 NSNs
Total: c1100 NSNs

Bidders shall submit pricing for a minimum of 80% of items released in phase 1.

During the course of the Contract Babcock Land Limited acting on behalf the Authority may raise orders for contracted items in one of 2 ways:

- Direct award - Purchase Order raised using information contained within the Contract pricing schedule; or
- Mini competition - a further competition will be run at the Authority's discretion between the Framework Contractors to re-compete items already on Contract. Mini competitions may be run for a variety of reasons including but not limited to; to reflect a changing economic climate, to realise the benefits of volume commitments etc..
- Framework Contractors shall only be allowed to submit bids for those items which they already hold a valid price with Annex A to Schedule 2 of the Contract.
- The award criteria under mini-competitions will be lowest price.
Bidders should note that prices submitted as part of a mini competition should not exceed those which are already in the Contract pricing schedule but can be lower.

Babcock Land Defence Ltd reserve the right to add further items of a similar nature to the contract post award (over and above those items envisaged to be added to contract in Phases 1 & 2 identified above.

Any resulting contract shall contain a set of Key Performance Indicators to measure performance in areas such as delivery and quality.
