## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is seeking innovative solutions through the tender titled "SBRI Challenge - Enhanced Individual Protective Equipment PHASE 2," focusing on the research services industry. This project involves the development of an adaptive clothing and equipment supply system, incorporating advanced technologies such as 3D scanning and machine learning to ensure accurate fit for users. The tender period concluded on 15th June 2016, with the award of the contract taking place on 25th July 2016. The overall contract value is £347,868, with a minimum tender value of £113,057, and the contract is set to run from 1st July 2016 to 30th June 2017, based in the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This procurement opportunity represents significant potential for businesses involved in the fields of advanced manufacturing, clothing technology, and 3D printing. Companies with expertise in developing adaptive clothing solutions, machine learning algorithms, or bespoke protective equipment would be particularly well-positioned to compete. Engaging in this project can foster growth for suppliers looking to innovate in the protective gear sector, aligning with modern military and defence requirements.

## Notice

This project will develop an Adaptive Clothing and equipment Supply system,(ACES). This will comprise handheld 3d scanner to capture anthropometric information, a 3D data base of clothing and equipment and several techniques which will match these and enable correct user- sizing. The Heart of the system will be a machine learning algorithm that will identify key metrics required to fit each item which will match the wearer with the correct size garment. The programme will also review how 3D printed inserts can be used to make stock sized equipment such as helmets and respirators fit exactly onto the wearer
