Summary
Machine-generated summary
Unite Procurement UK Limited, acting on behalf of the UK Ministry of Defence, seeks suppliers to join the Unite Procurement Platform for the purchase of 100 spare battery carriers for the Detector Special Purpose (DSP) 27, a hand-carried detector unit. The part must match NSN 6160-99-667-2326. DSP 27 was developed as an urgent operational requirement by DSTL and Gill Research and Development Ltd, who own the intellectual property rights and manufacturer's data pack, so a pre-existing design option from the OEM will be used. Delivery is immediate, with a one-off payment on delivery and a short inspection of each item as acceptance. No ongoing contract is planned.
