The duration of the proposed framework agreement is 3 years and has an initial estimated value of £1.8M. It is considered that this single source framework agreement can be placed using the negotiated procedure without prior publication pursuant to Regulations 16(1)(a)(ii) and 16(1)(b)(i) of the Defence and Security Public Contractors 2011 for technical reasons and interoperability from sourcing spares from a supplier other than ISTEC Services Ltd. Without access to this technical information the UK MoD is not in a position to be able to identify the exact technical requirements for the manufacture of spares which would put the performance of the equipment and the safety of the users of the equipment at significant risk. There are no equivalent products, reasonable substitutes or alternatives to the specification, that have the same functional and interoperability requirements. This notice is not a request for expressions of interest so please do not apply to be invited to tender. Babcock Land Defence Ltd, acting as agent for the UK MoD, is to negotiate a single source contract with ISTEC Services Ltd. ## CPV classification Machine guns Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/f3398742-2c24-496b-8f03-88f38d08cb0c) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
