## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has awarded a contract for the provision of cadaveric and non-cadaveric simulation facilities and resources. The contract, valued at £85,000 GBP, was awarded to The University Of Bristol. The procurement method used was a limited competitive quotation below the threshold. The tender period ended on 8th September 2022, with the contract period spanning from 9th September to 31st October 2022. The procurement falls under the training facilities building category and is located in the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This contract offers opportunities for businesses, especially SMEs and VCSEs, that can supply and maintain appropriate resources for military training courses and human cadaver workshops. Businesses providing surgical sets, PPE, simulation suites, high fidelity mannikins, immersive task trainers, and lecture theatre facilities are well-suited to compete. The training must be delivered between 9th and 30th September 2022 to prepare delegates for military medical tasks. Suppliers who can meet these requirements have the potential to contribute to this specialised field and support critical military training needs.

## Notice

The Contractor is to : a. Source, supply and maintain appropriate resources to deliver a training course aimed at preparing delegates to deliver military Damage Control Resuscitation & Surgery and prepare patient/s for critical care transportation in a deployed team. b. Provide a Human Tissue Authority licensed surgical skills workshop facility to enable surgeons to undertake technical skills training on human cadavers. c. Supply, prepare, maintain and dispose of up to 4 (fresh or thawed from frozen) full human cadavers in accordance with the Human Tissue Act 2004 and requirements of the UK Human Tissue Authority for a maximum of 5 days of surgical technical skills training. d. The contractor should provide appropriate surgical sets, PPE and consumables. e. The contractor should provide access to a 'simulation suite' co-located alongside the cadaveric working area that enables teams to train supervised by a remote faculty, with play-back capability for subsequent review and analysis. f. The contractor should provide a high fidelity mannikin which can feedback to candidates' physiological parameters. g. The contractor should provide access to a surgical immersive task trainer that can enable surgical tasks to be performed in both real time task training and immersive simulation scenarios. h. The contractor should provide access to a lecture theatre to enable briefing of all delegates and faculty. i. The cadaveric facility must have an appropriately sized room to erect a tent with the dimensions of 5.5 x 7.5 metres and height 3.5 metres to mimic the deployed military medical treatment facility for the non-cadaveric simulation. j. The training must be provided during the period 9-30 Sep 22 because this training must fit into a complex pre-deployment training pathway, the rest of which is already fixed.
