## About this tender

We are looking to procure a service as follows:

DGM Navy & Air Delivery Team is required to maintain a capability that enables the assessment, collation and provision of defensive aid suites environment characterisations and munition lifing assessments on air platforms

The contractor is required to gather vibration data via flight trials. The purpose of the trial is to determine the vibration and temperature environment experienced by air countermeasures when deployed on aircraft.

The trial will have two parts:

- the flight trial (Aircraft (Fast Jet, Fixed Wing and Rotary Wing) and Countermeasures (Flare / Cartridge MTV, Spectral & Aerodynamic and Chaff)); and
- the data analysis and reporting (The data will be acquired by using UK MOD owned equipment)

The data gathering equipment will be supplied by the UK MOD. This equipment is to be stored, managed and maintained by the Contractor in a ready to use state on behalf of the MOD

The current iFlare design is suitable for data gathering purposes on the platform, providing data gathered for a flare during air carriage. However, this equipment is unsuitable for DO test house control purposes and therefore a more robust iFlare variant is required to be designed, trialled and qualified in order to facilitate DO test house qualification activities. Any interested parties are to indicate whether they have this capability.

Company to be DAOS approved or be able to obtain the necessary MAA/DAOS approvals

Due to the security classification of both platforms and countermeasures, DGM Navy & Air Delivery Team requires that all personnel involved with the contract hold at minimum SC.

The supplier will need to be ISO 9001 or equivalent.

Please note the Authority is currently just looking to understand the number of companies who are capable of delivering this service.

There is no requirement for you to provide any further information about your capabilities, although the Authority may contact you in the future to seek specific information.

If you would be interested in delivering this requirement, please let the Authority know no later than 1700hrs on Friday 29th July 2022.
