Protected and Modified Civilian Profile Vehicles (PaMCPV) Support
Notice Description
Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) are a bespoke trading entity and are an arm's length body of the Ministry of Defence (MOD). We manage a vast range of complex projects to buy and support all the equipment and services that the Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force need to operate effectively. We work closely with industry, including through partnering agreements and private finance initiatives. More can be seen at MOD website - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/defence-equipment-and-support The Specialist Vehicles and Uncrewed Land Systems (SVULS) Team, part of the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) intends to award a service support contract to a single supplier. Quantity or scope: The contract will provide In-Service support to current MOD Civilian Armoured Vehicles (CAV), future procurements including, but not limited to, platforms procured via the Protected and Modified Civilian Profile Vehicles (PaMCPV) Framework Agreement, and other currently supported PaMCPV platforms (subject to funding). A Protected and Modified Civilian Profile Vehicle (PaMCPV) at its simplest level is defined as a commercial off the shelf (COTS) vehicle that has been modified to provide a degree of protection and have the potential to integrate mission systems. Examples of modifications include but not limited to: - Integrated blast and ballistic protection. The protection levels and coverage vary between platforms. - The integration of specified mission systems. This could include Electronic Counter Measures (ECM), communication systems, weapon mounts. - Modification of the base vehicle to meet mobility performance and capacity requirements. The requirement is likely to support the following types of capabilities: Existing Fleet: (1) CAV. A fully protected CAV, providing a protected and discrete profile in the UK and worldwide. Platforms include, but are not limited to, Toyota Land Cruiser (LC) 200 series. (2) Partially Protected Vehicles. Base vehicles with partial protection to meet operational requirements. Platforms include, but are not limited to, the Toyota Land Cruiser 79 series. (3) Future Procured Fleet: Provide service support for future procurements including, but not limited to, procurements via the PaMCPV framework. This includes light to medium commercial vehicles (including cars, car derived vans and 4x4 variants). The types of support the contract will provide, but not be limited to, are; provision of spares, parts codification, repairs and maintenance, Post Design Services, technical documentation and training. The service support contract will initially accommodate a mixed fleet in the region of 150 platforms made up of various Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM). Additional vehicles may be added to the Contract to a maximum upper limit of 400 vehicles, however, while the initial fleet will total c150 vehicles, this may reduce during the life of the Contract and the Authority does not guarantee a minimum fleet size at any one time. And, whilst no guarantee can be provided that this number will increase or decrease, the contract will be capped at 400 vehicles. Candidates should be aware that Faculty Security Clearance (FSC) will be required for this contract due to the classifications of capabilities being supported. Please refer to the PaMCPV Support Supplier Guidance Document for policy and guidelines for FSC (to be issued in conjunction with the DPQQ). The Cyber Risk Level associated with this project has been assessed as Low. Risk Assessment Reference: RAR - 241025A06. PROCUREMENT APPROACH The Authority is following the Restricted Procedure for this procurement as set out in Regulation 17 of the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 (2011). The authority intends to take through a maximum of eight (8) suppliers through to the ITT stage. The Authority reserves the right to cancel this procurement at any time including in, but not limited to, circumstances where fewer than three (3) potential suppliers meet the Authority's minimum standards at DPQQ stage. Please refer to the PaMCPV Support Supplier Guidance Document (once available) for further information on scoring and qualification. The DPQQ will be published on the Defence Sourcing Portal (DSP) portal. All responses to this DPQQ must be submitted electronically via the DSP portal.
