## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has published a tender titled "710526450-MSKI-Prevent" for a research program aimed at identifying individual level risk predictions of musculoskeletal injury (MSKI) and training outcomes. The procurement falls under the category of research laboratory services. The tender is open for interested parties, with a tender period ending on 25th March 2024. The contract period is expected to start on 17th April 2024 and last until 17th April 2029.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the services sector, particularly those with expertise in research and technology related to musculoskeletal injury prevention. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this tender particularly suitable. Interested businesses located in British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom are eligible to bid for this procurement opportunity.

## Notice

This is a requirement for a research program to identify individual level risk predictions of musculoskeletal injury (MSKI) and training outcome and the impact of injury prevention interventions. A recent review of MSKIs across HQ Army Recruiting and Initial Training Command (ARITC) training units has identified high levels of MSKIs in the recruit population, including a recent rise in MSKI prevalence, impacting on the training pipeline. Musculoskeletal injuries (MSKIs) continue to represent a major cause of lost training days, re-squadding and medical discharge (MD) during training. This program will support MSKI reduction both within the trainee population and wider Army and contribute to Future Soldier and the Army Plan. A combination of wearable technology, physical assessments, and subjective measures will be utilised to acquire data on potential predictors with a focus on modifiable risk factors.
