This procurement process, led by the Operational Infrastructure Delivery Team (OIDT) of Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S), aims to ensure enduring capability for front line commands. The procurement is listed under the industry category "Test and evaluation of military electronic systems" and will deliver across the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. Initial engagement ends on 18th October 2024, with key deadlines for responses and clarifications set in early October 2024. The process is currently in the planning stage with a potential implementation date of January 2025. This tender represents a vital opportunity for businesses specialising in electromagnetic field measurement and military electronic systems to expand their market by partnering with the MOD. SMEs and VCSEs are particularly encouraged to participate, as the MOD is actively exploring the supply market to inform its procurement strategy, ensuring the best value for Defence. Companies with capabilities to support Tri-Service and pan-platform General Purpose Test and Measuring Equipment (GPTME), which are required for varied maintenance tasks across Land, Sea, and Air platforms, would be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this procurement process could enhance business portfolios by establishing enduring solutions for military applications. ## Notice 1. Introduction 1.1. The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has a requirement to maintain a Radio Frequency Monitoring capability, therefore has a requirement to procure Electromagnetic Field Strength Survey Meters on behalf of the Operational Infrastructure Delivery Team (OIDT), part of Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S). 1.2. OIDT are responsible for ensuring enduring capability as long as the capability is required by front line commands. OI DT are responsible for Tri-Service and pan-platform General Purpose Test and Measuring Equipment (GPTME), which is essential for the maintenance and setting to work activities of Land, Sea and Air equipment assets. GPTME is comprised of mechanical and electrical items capable of being used in support of more than one weapon system, platform or equipment. 1.3. This RFI is not a bidding opportunity, it is a means by which industry can provide information. Any resulting procurement activity will be conducted in the first instance competitively. 2. Background 2.1. Radio frequency (RF) monitoring is required during monthly and 6 monthly scheduled maintenance and whenever there is an over exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) reported. These surveys are policy at sites with radar and transmitters producing high energy emissions, ensuring working areas are safe and that specified EMF levels are met at site boundaries. A number of safe systems of work and risk assessments across MOD specify a requirement for RF monitoring using this type of equipment. 3. RFI intended outcomes 3.1. This RFI aims to achieve the following outcomes: - Explore the supply market. - Inform the procurement strategy that will deliver best value for Defence. - Enable the implementation of an enduring solution for commencement from potentially January 2025, subject to change. 4.
