Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Ministry of Defence seeking bids for the "Provision of Pacific 24 Simulator", aimed at enhancing Defence Virtual Simulation (DVS) for small boat coxswain training. This open tender falls under the goods category, specifically for training simulators, and is centred in Portsmouth, England. The tender period concluded on 13 September 2019, with the expected contract delivery dates set to commence as soon as possible, starting with the first delivery by 31 January 2020 and finalising by 15 March 2020. The contract duration is set for a total of ten years, including a maintenance phase that may extend for an additional five years, contingent on performance.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses that manufacture or supply training simulation equipment and services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in this domain. Companies offering technological solutions compatible with the Ministry of Defence's specifications and capable of supporting the integration of MOD-owned software, such as the Virtual Battle Space 3, will be particularly well-suited to compete. The scope not only requires a robust technological proposal but also demands ongoing support and maintenance throughout the contract's lifecycle, making it advantageous for businesses focused on long-term client relationships.
