## About this tender

Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) Salvage and Marine Operations (SALMO) Delivery Team (DT) have a requirement for the provision of In-Service Support (ISS) to the Diving Life Support (DLS) portfolio of equipment.

The DLS portfolio provides a diving capability to the UK Military, led by the Royal Navy, to support a full range of technical and support activities to enable the delivery of underwater Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), underwater engineering, underwater search and engineering tasks in support of UK Defence Tasks.

The Authority are proposing that the DLS ISS requirement will be divided into the following three Lots:

- Lot 1 Diving Life Support (DLS) Diver's Dress and Dive Ancillaries
- Lot 2 Diving Life Support (DLS) In-Service Support to Diving Support Equipment
- Lot 3 Diving Life Support (DLS) In-Service Support to Dive Sets and Dived Equipment

The proposed Lots will require ISS as well as the ability to procure more/new equipment at the direction of the Authority.

The proposed DLS ISS contracts will be for five (5) years, with two (2) additional one (1) year options to extend. If all the options to extend are exercised by the Authority, each contract's duration will be a total of seven years.

This Prior Information Notice (PIN) is open to responses from companies that have suitable experience in the ISS of DLS equipment. An associated Request for Information (RFI) can be found at: [contracts.mod.uk/go/394909400191EB246605](https://contracts.mod.uk/go/394909400191EB246605)
