  Short description of the contract or purchase(s)

  Military vehicles and associated parts. The Authority has a potential requirement for the repair and testing of the Warrior traverse gearbox and traverse motor on all Warrior variants.

  The traverse gearbox and traverse motor shall be delivered to the Authority rebuilt to A1 standard with an accompanying Certificate of Conformance detailing results of output tests.

  Companies expressing an interest must be capable of both static bench testing and dynamic load testing of both the traverse gearbox and traverse motor. The repair instructions state that the repaired unit should be fitted to a vehicle and the turret traversed a number of times to test the clutch, brake and motor. As the Authority is unable to provide vehicles Companies must provide a suitable alternative to prove the performance of the repaired units under load.

  This potential requirement is being re-advertised due to ineffective competition being achieved.

  Any contract placed will be subject to the Supplier and Customer Performance Measurement (S&CPM) process.

  QA Standards or equivalent: The Contract shall hold and maintain a certification to BS EN ISO 9001:2000/2008, issued by a United Kingdom Accreditation Society accredited certification body.

  Estimated duration of contract: 3 years.

  Additional Information:

  Late Expressions of Interest shall not be considered.

  This requirement will be awarded to the most economical advantageous solution.

  The Authority intends to invite a maximum of 6 companies to tender and therefore may wish to conduct a pre-qualification exercise to assist in the down selection. Only those companies that can demonstrate a sufficient level of competence, experience and resources against the Authority’s pre-qualification criteria will be invited to tender.

  Contractors must be "X" listed or willing to undertake the process to achieve "X" listing. Any Contract awarded will involve access to Restricted Material.

  Should interested parties wish to provide any promotional material for review, please ensure this does not exceed 5 x A4 size pages. Companies should also detail their previous experience in this field.

  The announcement of a future requirement is not to be construed as confirmation that a tender/contract will subsequently be issued. The issue of a possible future requirement, or the issue of an invitation to tender, are not to be construed as a commitment by the MOD to place an order as a result of the tendering stage or at a later stage. Any expenditure, work or effort undertaken prior to any contract award is accordingly a matter solely for the commercial judgement of the potential supplier.
