    Brief

    This contract involves evaluating, selling, and disposing of surplus military equipment and waste across multiple global locations on behalf of the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD). Contractors visit designated overseas sites to assess equipment condition, arrange sales using cost-effective methods, and manage waste disposal in compliance with local environmental regulations. Revenue from equipment sales is shared between the contractor and MOD according to terms agreed during tender evaluation. All taskings are coordinated through the Defence Recycling & Disposals Team's Disposition Management System. The contract encompasses accommodation stores, portable infrastructure, vehicles and spares, tooling, communications equipment, gifts and memorabilia, hazardous waste, and waste fuel across established bases, remote islands, and temporary deployments in locations including the Falkland Islands, Middle East, Africa, Europe, and Asia-Pacific regions. Contractors must be registered on Exostar to access the MOD's Contract Procurement & Finance system for invoice processing. The MOD invites innovative proposals that could improve competition, compliance, resilience, commercial performance, or value for money. Real estate, explosives, and nuclear-related items are excluded from this contract.
