    "description": "ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUEST: As part of this requirement the Authority is seeking additional information from Suppliers to assist with Development & Manufacture planning for Project BOSKER. The responses supplied will not be marked or contribute towards the DPQQ score; however, Suppliers are strongly encouraged to assist the Authority by providing this information which will be beneficial to the requirement. To obtain a copy of the additional information section please contact Carly Williams by email carly.williams713@mod.gov.uk. Please only submit the additional supporting information via email if you also intend on completing the DPQQ. SECURITY:In order to participate in the ITN process, prospective suppliers will be required to access SECRET information. In order to do this these personnel must have a valid security clearance to enable them to view classified information at Authority premises. Therefore, the successful supplier must ensure all personnel working on the contract have personal security clearances and are citizens of the UK. The security clearance (SC preferred, if not DBS Certificate and Baseline Security Check) for participation at the Industry Day for ITN shall be mandatory to be obtained no later than a week before Industry Day. Successul Suppliers at DPQQ shall be notified of the details for Industry Day as soon as details are available. Without this clearance the supplier shall automatically be excluded on security grounds and shall not receive an ITN. To obtain SC please refer to the following: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/security-vetting-and-clearance. To obtain the basic DBS please refer to the following: https://www.gov.uk/request-copy-criminal-record. This clearance is expected to take up to 14 days. To obtain List X please refer to the following: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/defence-equipment-and-support-principal-security-advisor. Any questions related to Project BOSKER must be directed to the delivery team via the Defence Sourcing Portal. Please also reference to the Opportunities Listing on the DSP. https://contracts.mod.uk/esop/guest/go/opportunity/detail?opportunityId=52603",

        "description": "The Authority has a requirement for industry to design/enhance, develop & manufacture the Next Generation Chemical Detection Chemical Sense capability for airborne hazards, (including vapour and aerosol) & deposited hazards (including liquids and solids) known as 'Project BOSKER'. This procurement is exempt from the Defence & Security Public Contract Regulations on Grounds of National Security & is 'Secret 5 Eyes Only'. Only Suppliers from within UK, US, Canada, Australia & New Zealand may apply. However this does not stop companies with foreign ownership from applying if they have a UK registered business or subsidiary. Suppliers should have the ability & technology to meet the following high-level user needs: * Timely indication of toxic chemicals airborne in vapour & aerosol physical states, & then alert personnel to chemical threats within local areas. * Develop person worn capability for Hazard Warning (HW) & Residual Hazard Warning (RHW) for military personnel and potentially through modularisation of the person worn capability provide a hand-held capability to provide Hazard Location (HL) & Contamination of Assessment to military personnel. * Develop a base sense capability for HW & RHW to military personnel. * Provide chemical threat presumptive identification & the amount of hazard present allowing this data to report the event to Commaders. This information will support integrated warning, increase situational awareness, and improve battlefield management. * Obtain both a high level of chemical sensitivity & minimise the potential for false alarms (both false positive & false negative) to provide the user with confidence in their equipment. * Deliver an integrated aerosol & vapour sense capability. * Both the equipments are required to be network enabled. Suppliers need to hold List X status. The contract period is 5 years +1 +1 +1 +1 option years & include the following: a. Demonstration Phase to develop a prototype to be approved by the Authority, in conjunction with Defence Science Technology Laboratory (DSTL) testing, that meets the requirement prior to during Y1 of the contract. b. Manufacture, supply, & delivery of specified chemical sensing equipment. c. Repair and Spares support for the remainder of the contract covering procurement of the full systems, part piece spares and component level spares. d. Technical support which includes, but not limited to, updates to technical documentation and responding to technical queries from the users via CBRN DT Operations Manager (OM). e. Provision of training equipment and/or training packages as agreed with the Authority. In Service Support (ISS) will require the provision of services including but not limited to; * Design, Develop, Manufacture of Sense equipment * Robust Algorithms development * Contract Management & Service Core Support. * Equipment Calibration & Planned Maintenance (if applicable). * Equipment Survey & Unplanned Maintenance and Repair. * Supply of Capital Equipment. * Supply of Capital & Consumable Spares. * Technical Support Services. * Post Design Services * Defence Standards Applicable to Training (DSAT) compliant or equivalent training package solution * Provision of training equipment and/or training packages.",
