This project aims to deliver and support a combat protective clothing system that integrates with the current VIRTUS body armour and load carriage system. The tender, identified as BIP55287947, is set within the protective gear industry category and is located in Bristol, UK. Tenders must be submitted by 31 July 2017, with a minimum contract value of £20 million and a total potential value of up to £100 million. The eventual contract period will run from 16 April 2019 to 16 April 2024. This tender presents lucrative opportunities for businesses specialising in protective gear, military uniforms, or related textiles. Companies involved in the manufacture or refurbishment of combat clothing and protective systems, especially those with expertise in anti-ballistic protection, would be particularly well-suited to compete.
