Notice Information

Notice Title

Dstl Request for Information - Anti Vibration Systems

Notice Description

Dstl is forecasting a requirement that will involve the relocation of a number of items of equipment that have stringent environmental constraints for a number of conditions, in particular ground vibration. At present Dstl has identified an issue arising from the determination that the new building currently under construction will not meet the ground vibration environmental conditions for a number of items of equipment. Therefore Dstl has identified a potential requirement for anti-vibration systems to be used with these items of equipment to allow them to operate at their maximum performance. The objective of this Request for Information (RFI) is to determine the potential market capability, interest and approaches for the provision of anti-vibration systems which may resolve the problem described (further detail can be found within the RFI documentation). Therefore Dstl invites the market to consider and respond to the questions presented in the RFI document set. Additional information: This Request for Information (RFI) is being conducted via the Defence Sourcing Portal (DSP). DSP is the e-sourcing platform and one-stop-shop for contract opportunities, tendering and information on doing business with the Ministry of Defence. Use of DSP is free of charge. Organisations interested in participating in this Request for Information (RFI) are invited to register on DSP in order to access RFI documentation and full details of participation. Please note: The purpose of this RFI is to enable the Authority to understand market capability in delivering anti-vibration solutions. This is not a call for competition at this time.
