This procurement falls under the industry category of weapons, ammunition, and associated parts and is classified within defence services. The Market Interest Day for this project is scheduled to be held from 10:00 to 16:00 GMT on 4 December 2024 in Wiltshire, UK. Interested suppliers must register their interest by 17:00 (UK Time) on 29 November 2024. The forthcoming Request for Information (RFI) will also provide further engagement opportunities for suppliers. This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity, particularly for companies specialising in defence technology and systems integration. With an estimated contract value of £121 million, suppliers capable of delivering high-precision, deployable weapon systems are particularly well-suited to compete. Additionally, businesses that can provide partial solutions or have advanced capabilities in real-time video transmission, environmental adaptability, and GPS-denied operation environments will find this procurement process advantageous to participate in. The Market Interest Day and subsequent engagement sessions will be critical for suppliers to present their solutions and capabilities directly to the MoD, thereby influencing the final procurement requirements and approach. ## Notice Following the issuance of a Prior Information Notice (PIN), dated 21 October 2024 (Ref. 2024/S 000-033964), the Authority would like to thank all suppliers who have expressed an interest in the Medium Range Precision Strike (MRPS) requirement. This second PIN serves to provide further detail regarding the Market Interest Day mentioned in the first PIN and individual Engagement Sessions. Suppliers that did not submit an expression of interest following the issuance of the first PIN may still register an interest. The Authority will hold the Market Interest Day 10:00-16:00 GMT on 04 December 2024 in Wiltshire, UK. The aim of the Market Interest Day is to provide a briefing from the Authority on the requirement, forward plan/timescales, and proposed delivery approach for the MRPS programme with a Q&A at the end. Industry participation and feedback is encouraged. Suppliers interested in participating must submit a request to attend the Market Interest Day via the following link: https://forms.office.com/e/VpSpULjebX Responses must be submitted by 17:00 (UK Time) 29 November 2024. Any expression of interest received after this time may be rejected at the Authority's sole discretion. Once suppliers have registered an interest, all details about the event will be shared directly with interested suppliers. Due to capacity limitations, the Market Interest Day is limited to three (3) personnel from each supplier. In the event of the location's capacity being exceeded, the Authority will reduce down to two (2) personnel from each supplier. Following completion of the Market Interest Day, the Authority intends to release a Request for Information (RFI) in order to collate feedback on the presentation and offer an additional opportunity to attend a one-on-one Engagement Session via MS Teams. The Engagement Sessions are for suppliers to present their capabilities to the Authority. Industry responses to the Market Interest Day and Engagement Sessions will help inform development of the requirement. Please note the following: The Market Interest Day will assist the Authority to refine any future requirement and procurement documentation. The Authority reserve the right not to proceed with the procurement. Nothing shall constitute a commitment to instigating a formal procurement process. The Authority will not be liable for any costs associated with attendance at the Market Interest Day or the production of a response to any subsequent RFI. All responses at the Market Interest Day and any subsequent RFI must be provided by suppliers in good faith and to the best of the ability in light of information available at the time of the response. No information provided by a supplier in response to this Market Interest Day and/or any subsequent RFI will be carried forward, used, or acknowledged in any subsequent formal procurement process that may take place. Should a supplier not attend the Market Interest Day and/or not respond to any subsequent RFI, it will not affect participation in any subsequent formal procurement process for the requirement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/037023-2024 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Nov 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £121,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF DEFENCE | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS34 8JH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK52 Bath & North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire | | Local authority | South Gloucestershire | | Electoral ward | Stoke Park & Cheswick | | Westminster constituency | Filton and Bradley Stoke | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 35 - Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment ### Codes - 35300000 - Weapons, ammunition and associated parts ## Release History - 15 Nov 2024 at 13:36 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/037023-2024 - 21 Oct 2024 at 13:19 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/033964-2024 ## Notice URLs - https://forms.office.com/e/VpSpULjebX - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/all?title=tax ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
