## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has initiated a selective procurement for the construction contract titled "SPTA - NUTF - Trench Training Facilities" in the South West region of the United Kingdom. This tender aims to provide trench warfare training facilities at the National Urban Training Facility on Salisbury Plain Training Area. The contract value is £1,650,000, with a tender deadline of August 10, 2023. The contract period is scheduled to start on January 8, 2024, and end on March 31, 2024.

This opportunity is well-suited for businesses in the construction industry looking to engage in restricted procedures above the threshold. The new facilities are required to replicate a contemporary operating environment subjected to modern warfare while being on a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Small and medium-sized enterprises are considered suitable for this tender, providing them with a chance to contribute to creating realistic training environments for urban scenarios.

## Notice

Expressions of Interest are requested to tender for a construction contract in order to provide the National Urban Training Facility (NUTF) on Salisbury Plain Training Area (SPTA) with trench warfare training facilities. Requirements are likely to include two trench facilities outside the perimeter of the NUTF consisting of pre-cast concrete ducts/channels forming linear T-shaped trenches, with a mixture of pre-cast and cast in-situ structures. The effect to be achieved is training facilities that replicate a contemporary operating environment that has been subjected to modern warfare. The new facilities must enable the trainer to create realistic environments that cover a multitude of scenarios in the urban environment. The proposed facilities are on SSSI. This will require careful planning so as not to intentionally or recklessly damage the features of special interest, disturb wildlife or cause damage to the surrounding grassland. All necessary undertakings to meet planning, consent and condition requirements of local authority and other statutory bodies must be included as part of the deliverables.
