The procurement process is at the active stage with a deadline for submissions on May 17, 2024. The framework has a 3-year duration with a 12-month extension option, and it involves small-scale procurement of Robotic and Autonomous Systems (RAS) with a total headroom of £300M. The Expeditionary Robotics Centre of Expertise will oversee the procurement process. This tender presents an opportunity for organisations to join the HMT framework and compete for contracts in hardware, software, professional & technical services, and enabling networks related to Robotic and Autonomous Systems. Businesses specializing in research and development services and consultancy within the defence sector would be well-suited to participate in this framework. Interested organisations must complete a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) and Invitation to Tender (ITT) process to be considered for enrolment in the framework. ## Notice THIS ADVERT IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PARTICIPANTS TO JOIN THE EXTANT HMT FRAMEWORK ORIGINALLY RELEASED QUARTER 2 2022 (REFERENCE: 702953450). IF YOU ARE ALREADY A PARTICIPANT WITHIN THIS FRAMEWORK YOU DO NOT NEED TO COMPLETE THIS PROCESS. THIS PQQ/ITT PROCESS IS FOR NEW ENTRANTS TO THE FRAMEWORK ONLY. The Human Machine Teaming (HMT) framework focusses on experimentation activity and small-scale procurement of Robotic and Autonomous Systems (RAS), enabling rapid iterations, across the full stack of potential capabilities. The framework has a 3-year duration (1 year remaining) with a 12-month option to extend the duration out to March 2026, and has a headroom of PS300M. Any competition will be delivered by the Expeditionary Robotics Centre of Expertise (ERCoE) using the Future Capability Innovation (FCI) (previously Future Capability Group) with sufficient framework headroom, to complete iterative spiral development of technological solutions and support/scale those solutions where required. A power point presentation has been included in the PQQ which outlines some of the anticipated requirements that may be competed via the framework in the next 12 months. This has been added to facilitate potential providers in evaluating their suitability for the framework. The requirements detailed in the next step presentation are indicative and subject to change. Framework participation will be subject to successfully completing a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) and Invitation to Tender (ITT) process. This will commence with the publication of the PQQ for Human Machine Teaming through the DSP. *PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTINUING* The above advert is a re-opening of the HMT Framework (Reference: 702953450). If you are already a participant within this framework you do not need to complete this process. This PQQ/ITT process is for new entrants to the framework only. ### Lot Information HMT LOT 1 - Hardware Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) Activity - Hardware LOT.
