Marketing services. The authority requires a service to be provided by the contractor that will manage the collection, storage, marketing, and sale of MOD assets, shall include but is not limited to aviation, land and maritime spares, equipment and/or platforms, within Great Britain, Northern Ireland and Germany. Assets that make up this requirement are considered by the authority to be surplus to their requirements or beyond economic use for the authority and may include assets subject to special controls, such as ITAR. It is anticipated that the successful contractor would bring significant subject matter expertise to bear to ensure the assets declared to them were sufficiently exploited via marketing means and/or refurbishment to achieve a most profitable return to both parties. The sale of ex-MOD assets is subject to scrutiny and therefore the accounting, storage and reporting of assets is subject to external scrutiny.
