Notice Title

Request for Information (RFI) - Anti-Vibration Systems

Notice Description

Dstl are 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 have 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 have 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.
