        "description": "The Home Office is looking to appoint up to five suppliers to a pan-Government, four-year framework for the provision of Explosives Detection Dogs (EDD) Training Aids, manufactured in strict accordance with a Government-owned technical specification. The Home Office own the UK's Explosives Detection Dogs Strategy. The overarching strategic objective is to deliver robust UK detection dog capabilities against priority threats and scenarios. As part of that Strategy, the EDD National Canine Training and Accreditation Scheme (NCTAS) sets the standards and requirements for EDD teams across Government. This EDD Training Aids Framework is being implemented to allow for the provision of Training Aids aligned to the scheme. The framework is divided into five Lots, determined by the manufacturing process and hazard class of the Training Aids. Each Lot includes in scope: - Manufacture of EDD Training Aids - Delivery and Collection of EDD Training Aids - Disposal and Destruction of EDD Training Aids - Support, Testing, and Advisory Services Similarly to NCTAS, the National Canine Training and Accreditation Scheme - Private Security Industry (NCTAS-P) has in the last few years been made available to industry. As a part of this Framework, Suppliers will also be granted permission to manufacture and sell EDD Training Aids to foreign governments as well as national and international private industry, subject to conditions and Authority approval. Market Engagement was conducted in December 2024 - January 2025, the output of which will be made available to all Bidders as part of the Invitation to Tender (ITT) pack. This procurement will be managed electronically via the Home Office's e-Sourcing Portal (JAGGAER). The information we intend to distribute as part of this procurement is sensitive. As such, we will require a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and a Security Aspects Letter (SAL) to be completed by all interested parties before access to the ITT can be provided.",
