Tender Details

Project Description: The purpose of this this RFI is to confirm the ability of the industry base to manufacture the two devices that form the MPPS family of products and identify all possible opportunities or constraints for Defence. The MPPS hardware will be hosted on a range of tactical platforms (including armoured fighting vehicles) and dismounted for headquarters use. As such, there is a particular focus on quality control for the units, including ability to: • Operate within a challenging in-platform electromagnetic environment. • Manufacture within the strict physical tolerances of the design given the platforms` constraints on size, weight and power. • Meet the significant environmental performance requirements for operating in a wider range of deployed environments. The key outputs of the RFI are: 1. Validate the hardware design material to enable manufacture of the units. This RFI seeks to validate whether the completeness and quality of the design documentation is sufficient to allow suppliers to respond to the future competition to manufacture and deliver the units to the required standard and quality. 2. Determine what support may be required by the existing OEM (General Dynamics) to enable manufacture by a third party. 3. Obtain indicative method statements for delivery of an initial order quantity of 500 TLAs and 2000 TCS, to include timescales, manufacturing locations, indicative costing. 4. Confirm the availability of the components that are required to manufacture the two units, this will include lead times for components. 5. Assess the market appetite to respond to a competition for manufacture of MPPS units at this initial order quantity and future MPPS manufacturing requirements, potentially up to 7500 additional units .
