MoD Defence Contracts Bulletin (DCB)
is a means of increasing visibility of the MoD's requirements, enhancing
its supplier base and alerting potential prime and sub-contractors
to forthcoming opportunities to bid for MoD's larger-value requirements.
The MoD Defence Contracts Bulletin has been born out of the amalgamation
of the MoD Contracts Bulletin and the MoD Works Services Opportunities
and currently has over 5,000 subscribers.
The threshold for inclusion in MoD Defence Contracts Bulletin is
that all requirements with an estimated value of more than £500,000
(or £250,000 in the case of consultancy, clothing and textile
contracts) are advertised. Exemptions include requirements for food,
fuel, nuclear weapons, toxic and radioactive agents and classified
requirements.
In order to give maximum publicity to its larger value requirements
and to give industry a greater opportunity to tender, the MoD Defence
Contracts Bulletin is published fortnightly in accordance with the
Western European Armaments Group (WEAG) guidance.
It sets out in an open, unclassified format Possible Future Purchases,
Tenders Issued, Contracts Awarded, Sub-Contractor Opportunities
and Existing Contracts.
Subscription enquiries should be directed to BiP Solutions.
