Key milestones indicate that the engagement end date is set for 11th February 2022. The procurement process, categorised under CT scanners, is currently at the planning stage, with indicative dates for issuing the Find a Tender Notice and Contracts Notice in March 2022, followed by pre-qualification submissions in late April to early May 2022, and the issue of Invitations to Tender in early to mid-June 2022. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), that offer specialised equipment and services related to medical imaging and radiation safety. Firms providing delivery, installation, maintenance, and training for industrial equipment, particularly those experienced in meeting UK Regulations, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Companies interested in this procurement should prepare to showcase their capabilities in producing volumetric data using advanced scanning technologies, as this will form a critical part of the assessment during the tendering phases. ## Notice The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory have a potential requirement for an Industrial 3D Computed Tomography Scanner including delivery, installation, maintenance and training with associated IT and software system to process data. The computed tomography scanner must have an industrial configuration capable of producing volumetric (3D) data in a non-proprietary format derived from samples more than 1.5m long and 300mm diameter and exceeding 150kg. There will be specific requirements as part of this procurement process for suppliers to evidence they meet UK Regulations relating to radiation safety, explosives safety in addition to other UK legislation. Additional information: The purpose of this PIN is to provide potential suppliers with advanced notification of our potential future procurement and to encourage them to register as a Supplier on the Defence Sourcing Portal - https://www.contracts.mod.uk/web/login.html The following are indicative dates for the different stages of this procurement: Issue Find a Tender Service and UK Contracts Finder Contracts Notice - Mid to End of March 2022 Pre-qualification submission date - Late April to Early May 2022 Issue of Invitation to Tender - Early to Mid June 2022 Invitation to Tender Response - Mid to Late July 2022 Contract Award - Late September to Early October 2022 These are indicative dates and are provided for information only. DSTL reserve the right to alter these if required, but any such changes will comply with timescales in accordance with the Defence and Security Public Contract Regulations (DSPCR). The assessment of the quality of the submissions at the Invitation To Tender (ITT) stage will likely include a requirement to produce volumetric data of several sections of a Test Phantom which incorporates physical features of various sizes. The Test Phantom testing equipment will be provided for a specified time period during the ITT stage to each supplier to produce scans. The volumetric data will then be evaluated as detailed in the ITT. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7d487842-43e2-4a00-b2cb-8a24d11f311d | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Jan 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 11 Feb 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF DEFENCE | | Locality | PORTON DOWN, SALISBURY | | Post town | Salisbury | | Postcode | SP4 0JQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK72 Wiltshire | | Local authority | Wiltshire | | Electoral ward | Winterslow & Upper Bourne Valley | | Westminster constituency | Salisbury | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products ### Codes - 33115100 - CT scanners ## Release History - 10 Jan 2022 at 13:55 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7d487842-43e2-4a00-b2cb-8a24d11f311d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7d487842-43e2-4a00-b2cb-8a24d11f311d 10th January 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.contracts.mod.uk/web/login.html ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
