## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has initiated the "Future Ground Search PIN 2- CF" procurement process, which is currently in the planning stage. This process focuses on procuring bomb detectors under the industry category defined by CPV code 38546100. The procurement location is in the South West region of the United Kingdom, specifically at the MOD Abbey Wood South facility in Bristol. Key dates include the publication date of 2nd August 2024 and an engagement end date on 29th August 2024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in explosive ordnance disposal and bomb detection technology, especially those small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are tailored to provide high-tech detection solutions. The early market engagement process not only helps fine-tune the project specifications but also offers businesses a platform to showcase their capabilities and innovations to the Ministry of Defence.
