Notice Title

703280451 - Metal Additive Manufacturing as a Service Challenge Post Industry Day Documents

Notice Description

Additive manufacturing (AdM), also known as 3D printing, is a range of manufacturing technologies that enable the creation of lighter, stronger parts and systems. It has the potential to address significant issues within Defence such as excessive lead times for Defence inventory and manufacture of obsolete parts to improve platform availability. A Prior Information Notice (PIN) was published on 11/04/2022 to inform the market of an upcoming Framework Agreement opportunity. The MOD is considering seeking bids for innovation funding to accelerate the maturity of AdM technologies to better exploit the technology within the end-to-end support chain, deliver a more agile response to demand for parts, and begin to generate the inherent efficiencies that this technology promises. The Authority currently plans for the Framework value to be between PS3M - 5M (ex VAT) and will be for a period of 2 - 7 years. The PIN was followed by an Industry Day hosted virtually by the Authority on Wednesday 27th April 2022. Following the AdM Industry Day, the Authority would now like to make the market aware that all documents and Questions and Answers from the event are now available for download via the Defence Sourcing Portal. This is ahead of any formal Contract Notice being issued.
