Publisher note: The Authority has a requirement to Contract for the Provision of a Statutory Pressure Inspection and Pressure Maintenance Service at HMS Sultan. This Tender opportunity will seek to establish a four year Framework Agreement. No business whatsoever is guaranteed under any resulting Framework Agreement or contract. Indeed there is no guarantee that any Framework Agreement or contract will be put in place in relation to this notice. No compensation etc. will be paid if a tender or resulting Framework Agreement is withdrawn for any reason. Bidders should take part in this process only on the basis that they fully understand and accept this position. Requirement to include Statutory testing, examination and certification of: High Pressure (H.P.) and Low Pressure (L.P.) systems. Compressed Industrial Gas systems including welding gases. Steam systems. Fire Suppression systems. Associated equipment (i.e. Compressors). Further requirement information, including the specification and a copy of the WSE Spreadsheet can be found attached to the Opportunity on the DSP. In order to participate in this tender event, suppliers must register for an account with the Defence Sourcing Portal (DSP). 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. Tender responses will be evaluated in accordance with the process as detailed in the ITT. https://contracts.mod.uk/esop/guest/go/opportunity/detail?opportunityId=55344
