This project falls within the aviation industry category and is based in London, United Kingdom. The procurement stage is in the Tender phase, with a submission deadline set for 18th January 2019. The estimated value of the contract ranges from £100,000 to £500,000, and the procurement is being conducted through an open procedure, with contract commencement expected on 1st April 2019 and concluding on 31st March 2020. This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) interested in developing advanced software solutions for the aviation sector. Companies that specialise in aviation ground support software development and testing services, particularly those familiar with electronic test distribution systems and 3D imaging technologies, would be well-suited to compete. By engaging in this procurement, businesses can enhance their market presence and contribute to developing cutting-edge competency testing for X-ray screening that meets future technological needs. ## Notice The requirement is to develop an NXCT ( National X-Ray Competency Test) that is fit for purpose for current and future X-ray screening technologies, namely 3D / Computed Tomography (CT) based screening technology. The specification of such a test shall include: -Electronic / server based test distribution and upgrade mechanism, In addition to the current screening areas (i.e. Cabin Baggage, Hold Baggage and Cargo / Mail) the test shall include inflight supplies (IFS) -A single test (as opposed to three different tests as at present) where options for the screening area the test is being undertaken can be selected by the test administrator. -It shall be possible for a test administrator to select type of X-ray hardware used by the test taker. -Image interaction and enhancement tools shall be available to the test taker in both 2D and 3D imagery. -Detailed score reporting available to the test administrator in such a format as to be able to compare with Threat Image Projection (TIP) scores of the screener. This is to identify areas of improvement for the screener (e.g. in terms of threat types) to be able to tailor targeted training. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f35b62fa-565e-4e91-80b1-d596dd0911a6 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Jan 2019 | | Submission deadline | 18 Jan 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2019 - 31 Mar 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR TRANSPORT | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 4DR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | Vincent Square | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 48130000 - Aviation ground support and test software package - 72212131 - Aviation ground support software development services ## Release History - 14 Jan 2019 at 14:05 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f35b62fa-565e-4e91-80b1-d596dd0911a6 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f35b62fa-565e-4e91-80b1-d596dd0911a6 14th January 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/delta/respondToList.html?noticeId=369798167 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
