The AJAX team (an LEOC team) are leading this project as they have a confirmed requirement of 295 Boresight kits with an urgent initial requirement to obtain 50 Boresight kits within 4-6 months of contract award to meet AJAX's IOC (Initial Operating Capability). This contract may also include options to allow other teams to purchase additional quantities in order to fulfil their own requirements in due course. The approximate total quantity of these optional buys is around 400 (these are best current estimates). A Cyber Risk Assessment (RAR-240516A05) has been completed for this project and it has been classed as 'Very Low'. Please review DEFSTAN 05-138 for further information on the control measures associated with this assessment to ensure bidders are able to comply. You may express your interest in this requirement by completing the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) found at: https://contracts.mod.uk/go/16840507019078B3D197 by 11/09/2024 The PQQ shall be assessed using the selection criteria given within the PQQ and within each question. It is the intention of the Authority to down select to between three and five suppliers and Invite to Tender only those economic operators who successfully complete the PQQ. Quantity or scope: DE&S (Defence Equipment and Support, part of the UK Ministry of Defence) intends to award a contract under DSCPR 2011 by means of competition, for the supply of Boresight kits (Boresight and mandrils) for use on several weapon systems/calibres within LEOC (Land Equipment Operating Centre). The AJAX team (an LEOC team) are leading this project as they have a confirmed requirement of 275 Boresight kits with an urgent initial requirement to obtain 50 Boresight kits within 6 months of contract award to meet AJAX's IOC (Initial Operating Capability). This contract may also include options to allow other teams to purchase additional quantities in order to fulfil their own requirements in due course. The approximate total quantity of these optional buys is around 400 (these are best current estimates). As the other team's requirements are not fully matured, we are unable to quote an exact contract value and duration. Therefore, we estimate the duration to be between 1-5 years, and the overall contract value to be between PS2,000,000 - PS5,000,000, but this will be dependent on the confirmed ranging and scaling of other teams. A Cyber Risk Assessment (RAR-240516A05) has been completed for this project and it has been classed as 'Very Low'. Please review DEFSTAN 05-138 for further information on the control measures associated with this assessment to ensure bidders are able to comply.
