The Submarine Delivery Agency (SDA) has a requirement to procure PLTs. Consequently, the Authority seeks to assess the commercial market's capability to tender solutions that meet this future procurement need. This process will enable the Authority to plan activities effectively and may assist in shaping the future procurement strategy and defining the scope of the requirement. For further details, please refer to the attached Request for Information (RFI) which is included as part of the Opportunity Listing on the Defence Sourcing Portal (DSP). The Authority welcomes responses to the questions outlined in Annex A. Organisations interested in providing information are invited to contact Martha Frankland at martha.frankland100@mod.gov.uk. The RFI closure date is 22nd August 2025 at 23:59. This RFI does not represent a contractual commitment of any kind at this time. Any work undergone as a result of this request is done so at your organisations risk. This RFI is not a commitment by the UK Ministry of Defence to place an order or a Tender in the future.",
