Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence (MoD), represented by Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S), is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process aimed at acquiring a Medium Range Precision Strike (MRPS) system. This procurement falls under the industry category of weapons, ammunition, and associated parts and is classified within defence services. The Market Interest Day for this project is scheduled to be held from 10:00 to 16:00 GMT on 4 December 2024 in Wiltshire, UK. Interested suppliers must register their interest by 17:00 (UK Time) on 29 November 2024. The forthcoming Request for Information (RFI) will also provide further engagement opportunities for suppliers.

This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity, particularly for companies specialising in defence technology and systems integration. With an estimated contract value of £121 million, suppliers capable of delivering high-precision, deployable weapon systems are particularly well-suited to compete. Additionally, businesses that can provide partial solutions or have advanced capabilities in real-time video transmission, environmental adaptability, and GPS-denied operation environments will find this procurement process advantageous to participate in. The Market Interest Day and subsequent engagement sessions will be critical for suppliers to present their solutions and capabilities directly to the MoD, thereby influencing the final procurement requirements and approach.

712978450 - Medium Range Precision Strike

Notice Description

Following the issuance of a Prior Information Notice (PIN), dated 21 October 2024 (Ref. 2024/S 000-033964), the Authority would like to thank all suppliers who have expressed an interest in the Medium Range Precision Strike (MRPS) requirement. This second PIN serves to provide further detail regarding the Market Interest Day mentioned in the first PIN and individual Engagement Sessions. Suppliers that did not submit an expression of interest following the issuance of the first PIN may still register an interest. The Authority will hold the Market Interest Day 10:00-16:00 GMT on 04 December 2024 in Wiltshire, UK. The aim of the Market Interest Day is to provide a briefing from the Authority on the requirement, forward plan/timescales, and proposed delivery approach for the MRPS programme with a Q&A at the end.

Due to capacity limitations, the Market Interest Day is limited to three (3) personnel from each supplier. In the event of the location's capacity being exceeded, the Authority will reduce down to two (2) personnel from each supplier.

The Engagement Sessions are for suppliers to present their capabilities to the Authority. Industry responses to the Market Interest Day and Engagement Sessions will help inform development of the requirement.

No information provided by a supplier in response to this Market Interest Day and/or any subsequent RFI will be carried forward, used, or acknowledged in any subsequent formal procurement process that may take place. Should a supplier not attend the Market Interest Day and/or not respond to any subsequent RFI, it will not affect participation in any subsequent formal procurement process for the requirement.
