Supply and Delivery of Compression Ignition Engines to MOD St Athan

The Authority has a one off requirement for the supply and delivery of 10 x Compression Ignition Engine training aids to MOD St Athan. A specification for the Compression Ignition Engines training aids and the training objectives they must meet are detailed in the Statement of Requirements which can be found on the Defence Sourcing Portal (www.contracts.mod.uk). Contract start and end dates are indicative only and may change.

Interested suppliers are required to complete the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) to provide the Authority with information to evaluate the supplier's capacity and capability against the selection criteria. The Authority uses the PQQ response to create a shortlist of tenderers who: (1) are eligible to participate; (2) fulfil any minimum economic, financial, professional and technical standards; and (3) best meet, in terms of capacity and capability, the selection criteria set out in this notice and the PQQ.

It is the Authority's intention to down select to between approximately 5 and 10 highest scoring suppliers who will be invited to tender providing they meet the overall score of a pass within the PQQ. If a supplier receives a fail to any question within the PQQ, they will automatically fail the evaluation and not be invited to participate further.

Pass - A pass mark will be awarded where the potential provider can demonstrate that they have the capability to deliver the subject of this requirement. This will be by the potential provider submitting evidence that they have appropriate knowledge, experience or appropriate current certification in line with the nature of the specific question.

Fail - A fail mark will be awarded where the response fails to demonstrate that the potential provider has the appropriate capability to deliver the subject of this requirement. This would be where the potential providers response fails to provide evidence of experience with supply of the appropriate equipment, failure to provide evidence of appropriate certification.

Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
