Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is soliciting tenders for the procurement and support of Self-Contained Air Diving Equipment (SCADE), which falls under the industry category of "Breathing apparatus for diving" (CPV code 37412241). This tender relates to market requirements for a replacement capability to meet the demands of Naval Military Diving, Army Military Diving, MAB Military Diving, and the Defence Diving School, among others, with the equipment expected to be used globally in various aquatic environments. The procurement stage is currently in the tender phase, with updated key deadlines extended to 18 November 2024. The contract area is situated primarily within the UK, but the equipment is intended for worldwide usage. The procurement method will follow a selective process, specifically a negotiated procedure, and includes the need for the tenderers to meet specific pre-qualification criteria outlined by the Ministry of Defence.

This tender presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in manufacturing and supporting advanced diving equipment, particularly those with experience in supplying military-grade apparatus. Businesses capable of delivering modular, lightweight, resilient, and compliant systems according to UK safety standards will find this tender particularly suited to their portfolio. The procurement calls for detailed attention to user-friendliness, configurability, and compatibility with existing and future communication systems. Additional growth opportunities lie in providing upgradeable solutions, maintenance tools, and protective transit equipment. Companies with the capability to meet strict performance, technological, and financial standards are encouraged to participate, with a well-defined selection process designed to shortlist capable and competitive suppliers.

Notice Information

Notice Title

711234451 - Procurement and Support of Self-Contained Air Diving Equipment (SCADE)

Notice Description

A replacement capability is required by Naval Military Diving (NMD), Army Military Diving (AMD), MAB Military Diving (MABMD) and the Defence Diving School (DDS) to deliver Defence diving outputs post the OSD of the existing capability in 2024. Self-Contained Air Diving Equipment (SCADE) will be modernising our Open Circuit system improving surface demand capability to our core diving system. Self-Contained Air Diving Equipment (SCADE) will be an improvement on our current in-service Capability. This requirement is for use in the World's oceans, harbours and inland waterways in all climatic conditions. This project will deliver circa six hundred modular self-contained Compressed Natural Breathing Air diving systems to service Defence's military diving demands, including training. The ruggedized systems will be lightweight, compliant to UK safety standards, rapidly configurable and be minimal in form and function. They will accommodate the characteristics of human capabilities and when operated underwater the diver's fluid dynamic profile will be as low as practicably possible. Allowing the diver, the ability to loiter on task, the system design will also offer both a permanent and contingent surface supply capability, as well as interoperability with in-water alternate air supply connections and charging. To ensure relevance across their in-service lifespan, the systems will allow for coherent through-life upgrades, and they will be compatible with current diver through water communication systems (OTS MilCom 6000D) and the future procurement of commercially available telemetry monitoring and tracking systems and human interfaces. User maintenance equipment is required, as well as the means to protect each system or sub-system in transit. * Buoyancy controlled jacket, (BCJ) * Regulator Assembly, * FF mask and HF mask variants, * Air Cylinders * Gauge Assemblies, * Tool and Test kits * Transportation cases
