This initiative falls under the industry category of research services and is based in Andover, UK. Currently in the active tender stage, the deadline for submissions is 14th September 2020. The project has a total budget of £500,000 and aims to enhance the training and operational efficiency of the British Army's Future Protected Battlefield Ambulance system, with contract implementation expected to begin on 4th January 2021 and run until 31st March 2022. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in research and development, particularly those focusing on medical simulation and training environments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, leveraging their innovative capabilities to compete for this contract. Companies with expertise in simulation technologies, medical training systems, or defence-related services would be particularly well-suited to respond to this opportunity, potentially expanding their reach within the public sector. ## Notice Text to be corrected in the original notice: Place of text to be modified: II.2) Other additional information Instead of: The Authority reserves the right to amend any condition related to security of information to reflect any changes in national law or government policy.

Two factors have led to the decision to rescind the PTESS PIN. Firstly, the British Army intended to design the PTESS system against the Future Protected Battlefield Ambulance (FPBFA). However, since publishing the PIN on DCO, the announcement of preferred bidder for the FPBFA is still awaited so, if project PTESS was initiated now, the FPBFA designs would not be available to design against. Secondly, Covid-19 delays have compressed the current PTESS schedule to 18 months, increasing risk to project delivery. In response to these factors, the British Army have decided to postpone project PTESS until not before March 2021. This will reset the delivery schedule onto a two year profile of research and development against the FPBFA design once preferred bidder is announced. We apologise for any inconvenience this postponement may cause.
