## Summary

The Ministry of Defence in the United Kingdom has initiated a procurement process for the Roundless Tactical Engagement System. This tender, which falls under the goods category, is currently in the active stage. The contract, valued at £79,200,000, aims to enhance training simulations in Battlecraft Syllabus by delivering equipment units over a ten-year period. The procurement method is selective, and the buying organisation is based in Bristol, UK.

This tender opportunity presents a significant scope for business growth, particularly for companies specialising in training simulators and military electronic systems. Businesses able to provide innovative solutions for realistic weapon operation and training evaluation would be well-suited to compete in this competitive procedure with negotiation. The Ministry of Defence, as the buying organisation, is seeking suppliers who can meet the technical compliance and quality criteria outlined in the tender documentation.

## Notice

Roundless Tactical Engagement System (RTES) will enhance the delivery of Battlecraft Syllabus (BCS) training through the realistic representation of personal weapon operation and effects, increased ability for Force Elements to access measurement and evaluation systems, and a reduced dependency on blank ammunition and training estate resources. RTES will instrument live equipment with minimal alteration to its operation or published drills. By doing so RTES will collect data to enable comprehensive objective evaluation of training. RTES will deliver 3 separate packs of equipment, each containing the components required to instrument 60 trainees. RTES will be provided over a period of up to 10 years (made up of 5 years in-service support + 5 x 1 year options which the Authority reserves the right to take as a combination or as 1 year increments). There are also options in place to procure additional RTES packs or instrumentation.
