About
Ministry of Defence awarded a contract to .
for the supply of ropes under LSMS/005, a one-off fixed quantity buy intended to bridge a requirement gap while a larger four-year enabling arrangement for spares and repairs, Fleet General Stores (FGS), was being tendered.
The award was significantly delayed by four months and one week due to clarifications during the evaluation stage, causing the FGS tender to conclude and its contract to commence on 9th November 2022 ahead of LSMS/005.
As a result, the fixed quantity contract LSMS/005 was no longer required and the Authority decided to abandon the competition.
The contract value was £1.
