Summary of the contracting process

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), an executive agency of the Ministry of Defence (MOD) in the UK, is seeking information for the management of a multi-partner military longitudinal cohort research. This project, which focuses on the design and execution of research and development, aims to address Disease Non-Battle Injuries (DNBIs) within the armed forces. The procurement is in the planning stage, with key engagement ending on 15 November 2024. The research will be conducted at various locations, including the UK, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the rest of the world. Dstl seeks partners from academic institutions and industry, emphasizing expertise in scientific areas critical to understanding high-priority DNBI issues.

This procurement process offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in health monitoring, environmental stress analysis, and defence technology research. Companies with experience in long-term health data collection, and analysis, as well as those capable of partnering on multi-cohort studies, are well-positioned to benefit. By participating, businesses can contribute to crucial defence research, potentially leading to innovations in early intervention methodologies and health risk mitigation. This initiative not only supports military operational readiness but also provides a platform for businesses to showcase their capabilities in cutting-edge research and development.

Notice Title

Request for Information for the Management of a Multi-Partner Military Longitudinal Cohort Research

Notice Description

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) works within UK defence and security. Dstl is an executive agency of the Ministry of Defence (MOD) providing expertise and delivering cutting-edge science and technology for the benefit of the nation and allies. This Request for Information (RFI) is not a bidding opportunity but a means by which industry can provide information. No further discussions with industry are planned at this stage. However, any future procurement activity will be advertised in line with public procurement regulations on the Defence Sourcing Portal and Contracts Finder. Disease Non-Battle Injuries (DNBIs) remain a significant cause of morbidity and loss of operational readiness within the armed forces. Therefore, research that focuses on reducing the incidence of DNBIs by enabling the detection, prevention and treatment of injuries caused by Defence occupational, environmental and workplace stressors is a high priority. Monitoring of individuals and collecting data about them and the context in which they find themselves has the potential to provide insight into the risk factors associated with development of DNBIs and thus the ability to intervene early to the benefit of individuals. However, DNBIs are often complex, interconnected conditions. In addition, for several priority DNBIs, patterns and inferences in data will only be discernible with sufficiently long duration of collection to discern trends and supporting contextual evidence. As a result Dstl are looking to implement a multi-year, multi-cohort longitudinal study in human health monitoring. Dstl anticipates, this study will be undertaken in partnership with several organisations (academic institutions, industry) who will each have expertise in specific scientific areas critical to understanding high priority DNBI issues, noting that these my change as the study progresses.
