The Authority has a requirement for Exercise management and support, Provision of a technical support service, Provision of Post Design Services (PDS), Obsolescence Management (including disposal requirements) and Exit Management. Due to age of equipment and potential increase in demand, the Authority also requires ability to procure new equipment.
