## Summary

The Houses of Parliament has issued a planning stage tender titled "Request for Information - Security X-Ray Training Solution" in the industry category of Baggage-scanning equipment, Training software package, and Training and simulation in security equipment. The procurement process involves engaging with potential suppliers to shape requirements before a formal procurement exercise. The deadline for market engagement is set for 9th November 2022, and the contracting authority is based in London, England.

This tender presents an opportunity for suppliers specializing in training solutions for security equipment to engage with the Houses of Parliament. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate. The anticipated contract duration is a minimum of 3 years with possible extensions up to a maximum of 5 years. Interested businesses can access more details and submit responses through the Authority's tendering portal.

## Notice

The Authority requires a training solution for the Parliamentary Security Department (PSD) to enable staff to undertake regular X-ray scanner equipment refresher training, including upskilling training (continuous learning of new methodologies), throughout the year before re-licensing them via controlled environment tests. The purpose of this questionnaire is to engage with the market ahead of a procurement exercise. We will use the insights we gain here to shape our requirements for that procurement. Further procurement exercises will be run for the other categories in due course. We expect to agree this contract for an initial period of at least 3 years, with the possibility of extensions up to a maximum contract term of 5 years. This exercise will assist PSD and the Parliamentary Digital Service (PDS) to understand the market and help shape the procurement process and assist with the definition of functional and non-functional requirements. Interested parties must respond through the Authority's tendering portal: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/parliamentuk/aspx/Tenders/Current
