This procurement is classified under military research and technology, with an estimated value of £4,500,000. The tender period is open until 15 October 2020, and the contract is expected to commence on 12 February 2021 and continue until 12 February 2023. The services will be delivered in the South West region of the United Kingdom, with a minimum contract value of £870,000. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in unmanned air systems, military technology, and related fields. Companies that can provide innovative UAS platforms, lethal payload systems, or fully-integrated solutions will be particularly well-suited to compete in this process. By successfully joining the framework, successful applicants not only engage in immediate project work but also benefit from insights and potential future taskings, thereby positioning themselves for ongoing engagement in the defence sector. ## Notice Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) and Defence Equipment and Security (DE&S) have a joint requirement for innovative technologies that enable an Unmanned Air System (UAS) that will deliver tactical advantage and reduce threat to life for service personnel conducting operations in urban environments by the carrying of an integrated lethal payload which can be placed under human control. Before submitting a proposal, suppliers must complete a PQQ, please follow the link provided: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/unmanned-air-systems-in-urban-environments-pre-qualification. The framework will comprise three Lots and two phases the first phase will be managed by DASA the second phase where taskings are conducted will be managed by DE&S; * Lot 1: Urban-optimised UAS (platform systems) This Lot is focused on providing a robust cost-effective platform element of an armed UAS system. DASA are looking for a UAS platform that has the potential to be integrated and demonstrated as a full system in a representative urban test environment. * Lot 2: Lethal payloads under human control (payload systems) This lot is focused on providing a lethal payload that could be integrated with a UAS platform, as outlined in Lot 1 * Lot 3: Urban-optimised UAS with lethal payloads under human control (fully-integrated systems) This lot is focused on providing a robust cost-effective platform with an integrated lethal payload, demonstrating a full armed UAS system. In completing the requirements of this advert, successful applicants will be invited to join the framework. Until such as a time as tenderers are formally and separately invited to submit bids for the Lots, no tenders for the Lots will be considered. Joining the framework will enable the framework Contractors to receive headline results from the second phase taskings irrespective of whether their products were directly involved.
