This tender falls under the Safety Installations category and is currently in the planning stage, with an engagement end date of 6th September 2024. The project aims to replace an obsolete Safety & Monitoring (S&M) system critical to Complex Weapon (CW) Processing and Test facilities. The work will be conducted at Defence Munitions sites located in Beith, Gosport, and the South West region of the UK. A Market Information Exchange Day is scheduled for 10th September 2024 to provide further details. This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses, especially SMEs, with expertise in designing and implementing safety and monitoring systems for defence applications. Companies specializing in access control, CCTV, intercom systems, and environmental condition recording will find this project particularly relevant. The tender's focus on integrating new systems with existing facilities and ensuring enhanced safety measures aligns well with firms experienced in complex installations and defence safety regulations. Engaging in this tender can lead to long-term partnerships with the MoD and open doors to future contracts in the defence sector. ## Notice Safety & Monitoring (S&M) system The S&M system ensures safe operation of Complex Weapon (CW) Processing and Test facilities, namely, Integrated Weapons Complex's (IECs), CW test facilities, and Non-Explosive Workshops (NEWS). The existing S&M system installed over 40+yrs ago is fast becoming obsolete and there is increased difficulty in sourcing spares and components. The replacement of this equipment is crucial to CW testing at DM Gosport and DM Beith in compliance with Defence Safety Authority (DSA) 03. It requires an in-depth understanding of how the entire systems works and integrates with existing facilities and munitions. DM require Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to review and subsequently design a new solution for an S&M system to interface with existing facilities and provide access control when processing current and future complex munitions. The design will require implementation to supply and install the equipment at DM sites; Beith and Gosport. The expectation is that this work will be split into two elements of work: Review and Design of the S&M system and, Supply and Installation of the S&M system. The S&M system will be required to incorporate key functions such as: - Access Control assets, namely: o CCTV to monitor site and Integrated Weapons Complex (IWC) activities and movements from each area of the IWC. o Intercom Systems to enable communication within the IWCs, including onwards transmission of the Depot Tannoy announcements and integration with Intruder Detection Systems (IDS) with Security Services Group (SSG). o Access control of numbers and movement of Hazardous materials o External audio and visual indicators. - Recording of environmental conditions. - 'Test permissions granted' function. Market Information Exchange Day: The MoD shall invite suppliers with an interest in the S&M equipment replacement to a face-to face Market Information Exchange Day on 10 Sep 24.
