## Summary

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is seeking information regarding Non-Destructive Testing Equipment through a renewed Request for Information (RFI). This procurement process falls under the industry category of non-destructive testing services (CPV code 71632200) and is currently in the planning stage. The engagement end date for market feedback is 4th April 2025. The project covers a broad geographical area, including British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, the Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom.

This renewed RFI provides an excellent opportunity for businesses, particularly SMEs, involved in the manufacturing or supply of non-destructive testing equipment to contribute to MOD's understanding of the market. Organisations that can offer insights into equipment availability in the private and commercial sector would be well-positioned to influence future procurement strategies and potentially secure future contracts. The MOD is not seeking promotional materials but rather detailed information on current service capabilities to better shape their procurement route.

## Notice

There is a current requirement for Non-Destructive Testing Equipment within the UK MOD. At this time, the Authority are seeking to better understand the industry and what can be provided to fulfil the future requirement. This is further market research from the latest RFI, which was published in December 2024 and closed in January 2025. Due to little response at the time, we are publishing the same RFI to see if other company's in industry can assist with the market research and further help the Authority with their procurement route. This is a request for information only at this time, and the detailed documents linked to this RFI will be needed to respond with. The Authority are not looking for brochures from organisations or company's, just a better understanding if the equipment is currently in service within the wider private and commercial sector. Additional information: Link to DSP with the opportunity to respond to the RFI
