The main procurement category is goods, with a contract period of 2520 days. The procurement method is selective with a deadline for PQQ submissions on 25/08/2023. The tender provides an opportunity for businesses to participate in a framework for mitigation solutions, including technologies such as unmanned air vehicles and optical trackers. This opportunity is managed by the Ministry of Defence and aims to address the impact of offshore windfarms on air defence radar capabilities in the UK. Businesses specialising in radar technology, aerospace, and surveillance systems would be well-suited to compete in this selective procurement process. The deadline for submitting pre-qualification questionnaires (PQQ) is 25/08/2023, and successful bidders will participate in call-off competitions for mitigation solutions. ## Notice Notification of NJORD PQQ ### Lot Information Lot 1 The UK Government has set its ambition to deliver 50Gw of green energy by 2030 delivered by numerous offshore windfarms that shall be built and commissioned during a rolling programme of works from 2025 and beyond. The fleet of UK Air Defence (AD) Radars are installed strategically around the UK and provide the Recognised Air Picture (RAP) enabling UK air defence system to identify non-cooperative targets within the UK area of interest, enabling the Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) in support to National Security Objective 1 (NSO1). Each of the future offshore windfarms will have a unique, detrimental impact upon the RAP as they will reduce the volume of air space that the AD radars can effectively survey, reducing the MOD's ability to deliver its tasks under NSO1. Programme NJORD (herein referred to as NJORD) has been established in response to a need for capabilities that will mitigate the negative impact introduced by offshore windfarms and maintain, the RAP at its full capability as established prior to the introduction of offshore windfarms. NJORD is an RAF programme with the procurement activity and contract management, through life for the capability / capabilities, being managed by the Air Defence and Electronic Warfare Systems (ADEWS) Delivery Team (DT) within Defence Equipment & Support as the RAF's delivery agent. To achieve this, NJORD shall focus on ensuring the continued Primary Surveillance capability currently provided by the RAF's air defence remote radar heads which would otherwise be degraded by offshore windfarms. The capability may be comprised of an asset or assets that mitigate individual windfarms or numerous assets that comprise a system of mitigations. The anticipated potential solutions for the procurement include but are not limited to the following. * TAO 1 - Replace the current AD radar fleet. * TAO 2 - Gap Fill Radar / Supplementary Radar. * TAO 3 - Adjunct System / Modification to AD radar fleet. * TAO 4 - Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV)s. * TAO 5 - Low orbit satellite technology. * TAO 6 - Optical Trackers. This Contract Notice is notification of the PQQ release for this opportunity. The intention is to set up a framework for mitigation solutions that will be procured through a series of call-off competitions including trial demonstrations.
