## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is seeking a contractor for the supply of a SKYGUARD Power Supply Unit as part of a tender process classified under the goods category, specifically for generating sets with compression-ignition engines. This procurement is currently in the tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 23 February 2022. The contract value is estimated at £135,000, with the equipment primarily delivered to RAF Spadeadam in Cumbria, England. The procurement method employed is a selective process, adhering to a restricted procedure.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in manufacturing or supplying diesel-powered energy solutions and components related to defence equipment. Companies with experience in providing modern, commercial off-the-shelf products and those that can meet specific technical specifications would be well-suited for this contract. Moreover, the ability to supply additional units contingent upon satisfactory performance of the initial product could offer further growth opportunities in this sector.

## Notice

The RAF Spadeadam Electronic Warfare Range uses radio frequency, ultra-violet and infra-red threat systems to train aircrew and develop countermeasures. One such threat system is the SKYGUARD Fire Control Unit (FCU). The SKYGUARD FCU is equipped with an integral, but removable, petrol generator power supply unit (PSU), which enables it to be operated when deployed away from a mains electricity supply. However, the existing PSUs are obsolete and can no longer be supported economically. There is a requirement for a reputable contractor to supply and commission a suitable modern, commercial off-the-shelf, diesel-powered PSU to replace the existing SKYGUARD equipment. A new PSU must meet the Authority-provided performance specifications, as well as being adapted to fit and run inside the existing spatial envelope on the SKYGUARD FCU.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The resulting contract would include the supply of one adapted PSU along with costed options, subject to satisfactory performance of the initial unit, for the delivery of a further two adapted PSU's along with technical documentation and spares packs.
