Babcock wins further equipment contract for British military
Under the seven year contract Babcock will provide design, supply, manufacture and repair of general lifting equipment in use in the marine and land based environments, as well as inspection and certification services, equipment support activities and the continued provision of the Lifting Equipment Safety Management System (LESMS) Register.
Babcock will also support the equipment with a wide range of associated technical services and assistance. The contract also covers the specific requirements associated with the Low Magnetic Equipment required by the Mine Counter Measures (MCM) flotilla.
To secure the competitively won contract, Babcock has successfully demonstrated its own and its sub-contractors’ competence and experience in the supply, manufacture, repair, testing and management of lifting equipment, and associated quality and safety management systems.
Commenting on the contract award, Babcock Business Development Director John Stratton said: “This is the latest in a number of equipment asset management contracts we hold, including pumps, compressors, electrical components, meters and gauges, atmosphere monitoring, and firefighting, through which we have gained proven experience and a strong track record in delivery. We look forward to applying this extensive experience to the lifting and handling equipment contract, which will be run alongside our existing asset management contracts, to ensure consistent delivery to time and quality to meet our customer’s requirements.”
