The project involves military-relevant medical research with a budget commitment of approximately £500k per meeting. The tender is at the planning stage, with an engagement end date of 19th July 2024. The procurement is classified under research and development services and related consultancy services, with a delivery address postal code of B15 2SQ located in London, England. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in research and development services with a focus on military-relevant medical projects. Companies interested in scientific, military research with value for money propositions are well-suited to bid. The Ministry of Defence is the buying organisation, and they are seeking expressions of interest for projects supporting military healthcare. The tender aims to fund research projects that can impact clinical delivery or operational capability, welcoming applications with varied methodological approaches and technology readiness levels. ## Notice Defence Medical Services Research Steering Group (DMSRSG) is the primary mechanism through which the DMS endorses and funds research activity. The research project must be of military relevance, scientifically robust, and offer value for money. DMSRSG supports military-relevant medical research. Projects are not restricted to a particular methodological approach or technology readiness level (TRL). We will support foundational science through to applied research. Where foundational science / early TRL activity is proposed there must be a feasible pathway to impact on clinical delivery or operational capability. Research must be predominantly medical or healthcare focused and we welcome qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods research. There is no limit on the amount of funding that can be requested per application. However, the overall commitment budget at any one DMSRSG meeting is approximately PS500k and we support multiple proposals at each round. Funding requests should always be commensurate with the activity proposed and can be multi-year. Priority areas are outlined in the calling notice. This opportunity is for submission of Expressions of Interest only. If successful at this stage you will be linked up with a Defence academic to develop a full submission ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8088ec4f-0d02-4f29-941c-ad8f8d3fae5f | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Jun 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 19 Jul 2024 | | 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 | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1A 2HB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 6 Jun 2024 at 06:58 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8088ec4f-0d02-4f29-941c-ad8f8d3fae5f - 23 May 2024 at 14:10 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8088ec4f-0d02-4f29-941c-ad8f8d3fae5f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8088ec4f-0d02-4f29-941c-ad8f8d3fae5f 6th June 2024 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1887982c-2180-42a4-ac5a-a71cec17378b - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/4c534250-2860-4dcc-9f67-dafb7242b41e - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9875e235-89bc-4860-9330-4dc84092c761 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/4e41cb28-fd73-4627-b0fb-a6050dbd62b3 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
