## Summary

The Ministry of Defence's Land Equipment, Training and Simulation Systems Programme (TSSP) is conducting a tender for the Tactical Engagement Simulation In Kenya (TESIK), focused on military electronic systems. This contract, which is set to commence on 1 September 2020 and run until 31 August 2025, may be extended for an additional two years. The tender period concluded on 25 February 2020, and the contract value is approximately £55 million, with a minimum value of £30 million. The services are to be delivered primarily in the British Overseas Territories and the UK, with potential global reach for military training activities.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in military training and simulation, as well as data storage services. Companies that can provide infrastructure and instrumentation for military exercises and that excel in developing interoperable systems for Defence projects would be well-positioned to compete. Given the contract's substantial budget and its focus on enhancing the capabilities of Light Role Collective Training events, smaller and medium-sized enterprises with relevant expertise could successfully engage with the buying organisation to foster growth.

## Notice

TESIK is required to provide the infrastucture, Tactical Engagement Simulation (TES) instrumentation and resources, via a fully managed service, to support Light Role Collective Training (CT) events. The CT events will predominantly be delivered via the STORM series of Exercises at British Army Training Unit Kenya (BATUK) but could be utilised to support other CT or Defence Activities globally upon demand. TESIK is to enable force elements to conduct realistic, live dry, force on force training whilst movements and combat performance of individuals, nominated vehicles and equipment are tracked, monitored and recorded. This is to provide objective evidence to support After Action Review (AAR), constructive feedback to the training audience, and evidence to support the documenting of the achievement of Collective Training Objectives (CTO) by Force Elements for the Chain of Command. On completion of the CT event, this data is to be presented to the Authority for storage and future use. TESIK must have the capability to integrate with the Synthetic Wrap capability provided by Project SCOPIC / SCOPIC2 (simulated ISTAR feed). There must be scope to integrate additional instrumented capabilities should they be developed and delivered during the life of the contract. TESIK must have the capacity to be interoperable with other UK TES systems and the TES systems used by NATO allies. It is anticipated that the contract duration shall run from 01 Sep 2020 through to 31 Aug 2025. The Authority shall also have irrevocable options to extend the contract by a further 2 x 1 year until 31 Aug 2027. In issuing this Contract Notice and engaging with the Market, the Authority is not committing to carrying out any procurement in relation to the requirements stated in this notice. If third parties are interested in engaging with the Authority in relation to the requirements stated here they must do so without sharing information that is protected by copyright or patents.
