## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is inviting tenders for the MSKI-Prevent research program, focused on predicting musculoskeletal injuries and implementing prevention interventions. The procurement is a services category contract with a value of £1,350,000. The tender deadline is 25th March 2024, with an optional extension year available. The buying organisation is the Ministry of Defence located in Andover, United Kingdom. The procurement method is an open procedure.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the research laboratory services industry to engage in a program aimed at reducing musculoskeletal injuries within the Army's training population. Companies with expertise in wearable technology, physical assessments, and risk factor analysis are well-suited to bid for this contract. The procurement stage is currently active, with the bid opening scheduled for 25th March 2024.

## Notice

This is a requirement for a research program to identify individual level risk predictions of musculoskeletal injury (MSKI) and training outcome and the impact of injury prevention interventions. A recent review of MSKIs across HQ Army Recruiting and Initial Training Command (ARITC) training units has identified high levels of MSKIs in the recruit population, including a recent rise in MSKI prevalence, impacting on the training pipeline. Musculoskeletal injuries (MSKIs) continue to represent a major cause of lost training days, re-squadding and medical discharge (MD) during training. This program will support MSKI reduction both within the trainee population and wider Army and contribute to Future Soldier and the Army Plan. A combination of wearable technology, physical assessments, and subjective measures will be utilised to acquire data on potential predictors with a focus on modifiable risk factors.
