Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleThe Authority proposes to enter into a contract with Robson Handling Technology Limited on a single source basis in accordance with Schedule 5, paragraph 7 of the Procurement Act 2023 (PA23) (additional or repeat goods, services, or works). The Authority has a requirement to procure four additional check-in desks for the terminal at RAF Brize Norton. The equipment must be compatible with the conveyor system, and must integrate with the same electrical control panel as the existing passenger & baggage handling (PBH) equipment. Procuring equipment from an alternative contractor would introduce significant programme, operational, and safety risk.
