This procurement falls under the goods category, with an estimated value of £3,500,000. The tender period is set to close on 4th February 2020, and the selected equipment must be deliverable to the South East region of the United Kingdom. The contract is expected to commence on 4th May 2020 and run until 31st December 2021. There is a possibility for additional support during the contract period, including options for further equipment and training. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses with expertise in defence and technological innovations, particularly those specialising in radio frequency systems, sensors, or military training solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement process is designed to accommodate organisations capable of delivering stand-alone systems with minimal dependencies. Companies with a track record in developing portable jamming technologies or similar military applications may find this opportunity particularly advantageous, especially given the planned technology demonstration as part of the evaluation process. ## Notice The UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) has an Urgent Capability Requirement (UCR) to provide Counter-Unmanned Air System (C-UAS) Radio Frequency Jammer equipment (C-UAS Land Technology Readiness Level minimum 8), training and support, to the Royal Navy. The C-UAS RF Jammer shall be able to Defeat a detected threat from Small-Class 1 Unmanned Air-System's (UAS's), that are utilising common frequency bands. The C-UAS RF Jammer equipment will be deployed on maritime platforms. It shall be stand-alone, requiring only a power supply as a dependency from the maritime platform on which it is installed. The C-UAS RF Jammer shall be 'person' portable (max 1 individual), capable of being packaged onto NATO-standard pallets. The system shall be capable of handling data, and operating within an environment, classified at a minimum of Official Sensitive. The Contract shall cover an initial quantity of up to 11 C-UAS RF Jammers and include the provision of 1 years in service support (and spares), to commence at the point of delivery and acceptance. An overall train the trainer package shall be included on the Contract, covering operation and maintenance etc of the system The Contract shall also include Options for additional RF Jammers and training, and for a further 3, 1-year support periods. The ITT process is likely to include a technology demonstration, hosted by the Authority/User and supported by a third-party provider. This shall independently test and evaluate candidate systems against pre-defined criteria included within the evaluation documentation, the resulting data shall form part of the tender evaluation and down selection. The Authority is progressing with the required permissions necessary for this demonstration, should any potential provider believe that additional permission/ clearances will be required for their systems, please notify the Authority immediately for further guidance.
