The process, which extends to potential suppliers globally, is currently engaging early market feedback to shape future procurement strategies. The engagement deadline is set for 5th June 2026. Located in Bristol, England, the MoD is exploring requirements under the CPV classification 35300000, with a geographical focus that includes the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the rest of the world. This step is preparatory, with a formal procurement notice to follow, possibly through the Defence Sourcing Portal once a Tender Notice is published. This tender provides significant opportunities for SMEs, aiming to understand market capability for the MRPS project without excluding future participation based on current responses. Businesses specialising in defence technology, particularly in weapons and ammunition, are strategically positioned to benefit from engaging in this RFI. The procurement process prioritises flexibility and seeks innovative input that could influence the project's strategies, presenting a promising opening for competitive positioning and growth in defence-related supply chains. ## Notice This Request for Information (RFI) forms part of the Medium Range Precision Strike (MRPS) Preliminary Market Engagement. Its aim is to give potential suppliers the opportunity to comment on the proposed requirement and the various strategies which will inform this. In issuing this RFI, the MOD is not committing to launch any procurement in relation to the requirement, and it reserves the right to alter its approach to this project prior to commencing any formal procurement process. Any related future procurement activities will be subject to the Procurement Act 2023 (PA 2023). The information contained in this RFI and any further information (whether written, electronic, or oral) supplied by the MOD in respect of this RFI is, and will be, supplied on the condition that the MOD will not be held liable for any error, omission or inaccuracy therein nor for any loss or damage sustained by any party arising as a result of reliance on such information or any subsequent communication, including any error, inaccuracy or omission resulting from any negligent act or omission of the MOD or any other person (other than in respect of fraudulent misrepresentation). No party accepts any responsibility or gives any undertaking to provide further information, including any information required to correct any earlier inaccuracy or error. Any information submitted will be considered only for the purposes of building an understanding of the markets ability to undertake the MRPS project. No information provided will be carried forward, used, or acknowledged for the purpose of evaluating and must be re-submitted as part of the formal procurement process. Information specific to a potential supplier provided through this process will not be shared nor distributed to other suppliers but may inform discussions that the MOD will have with the market and may subsequently be used to inform the terms on which a formal procurement process is conducted. The Authority will assess responses to the RFI and reserve the right to seek clarification and/or additional documents in respect of responses where necessary. Any participation in the Preliminary Market Engagement and any response to this RFI is entirely at potential suppliers' own cost and risk. The MOD shall not be liable to reimburse any costs incurred by potential suppliers who respond to this RFI. Non-participation in this RFI, or any other element of Preliminary Market Engagement, will not be taken into account in any future formal procurement activities and will not preclude any potential supplier from participating in any subsequent formal procurement procedure. The procurement process will be managed through the Defence Sourcing Portal (DSP). Potential suppliers will need to notify the MOD of their intention to participate once a Tender Notice is published on Find a Tender Service (FTS).
