The Contract is for a maximum period of 6 months at an estimated value of £127,520 (EX VAT) GBP.
Only the Contractor, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”), has access to the complete design and technical information, expertise, and know-how necessary to provide the Cylinders that are built to a suitable safety standard and supported by the platform Safety Case.

It would be technically impractical for a supplier other than the Contractor to fulfil the activity associated with providing Stage 2 Cylinders that are fit for use, as well as updating and gaining approval of the Platform Safety Case within the required timescales, to the necessary standard and to the reasonable satisfaction of the Authority.”
