Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "RFI0047 - PODS EXPERIMENTAL DEVELOPMENT, PROCUREMENT AND SUPPORT". This Request for Information (RFI) seeks industry feedback on the feasibility of a new commercial framework intended to support various aspects such as concept development, testing and evaluation, manufacture, delivery, management, and maintenance of joint deployable modular capabilities. The process is under the "Standard freight containers" industry category and aims to cover multiple locations including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. Key deadlines include an engagement end date set for 11th November 2024.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of contributing to the experimental development and logistical support of modular capabilities for the military sector. Businesses involved in container manufacturing, maintenance services, or integrated support systems would be well-positioned to gain from engaging in this process. The procurement is not yet at the tender stage, which provides participating businesses an early opportunity to influence the potential framework and align their capabilities with MOD’s future needs.
