Notice Information

Notice Title

X-ray Configuration Change Test Set

Notice Description

The Transport Security, Resilience and Response (TSRR) within Department for Transport, leads on national security matters, ranging from counter terrorism and cyber security to planning for and responding to natural hazards or civil contingencies. We deliver expertise to support security and resilience policy teams whilst also providing the department's 24/7 response for all security or civil contingency incidents. The team works with security and intelligence partners from across government to mitigate risk to the UK's transport sector. This project is for the design and provision of a test set which can be baselined using an approved/original configuration (which has met the ECAC standard) and then be used to compare a second configuration outside of the ECAC test centres to validate the performance of that new configuration. The DfT invites proposals for the X-ray Configuration Change Test Set work package. The anticipated value of the project is approximately PS100,000. This value is given in good faith as a guide to aid Tenderer's planning for submitting their Tender. The DfT is carrying out its competition via it's e-sourcing platform Jaggaer. If you wish to participate in this procurement exercise, please access the Invitation to Tender documentation via the Jaggaer platform https://dft.app.jaggaer.com/web/login.html and search for ITT reference itt_624 - X-ray Configuration Change Test Set. If you are not currently registered on the DfT's Jaggaer platform, please register your organisation for an account as soon as possible in order to participate in the procurement exercise. Information on how to register is available on the Jaggaer homepage via the above link. Please note that the Department is unable to accept any requests for participation or tenders that are not submitted via the DfT Jaggaer system. All clarification questions must also be submitted via Jaggaer.
