Defence Support Major Programmes within Strategic Command has identified that a more agile and flexible approach to the commercial marketplace is required to mitigate and respond quickly to such challenges. The Parts Creation Framework (PCF) shall be an enabling framework and associated eco-system providing an alternative and timely route for the supply of parts utilising Advance Manufacturing techniques across the entirety of the MoD. This is a new requirement to leverage the innovative manufacturing capabilities of present and future Industrial Partners, and to initiate this the MoD shall be carrying out engagement with Industry. In collaboration with the Manufacturing Technology Centre, an Industry Engagement session shall take place on 14th November 2023. The MoD would welcome insight into market possibilities, and we have attached a draft Statement of Requirement to this RFI for feedback at the Industry Engagement event. We would like to gain a better understanding of the Market, its Suppliers, the feasibility of different commercial models, the application of the Social Value Model and to gather intelligence from potential suppliers which may influence and inform the development of the future requirement and associated commercial activity. The speakers will address these topics during the event and there will be a Q&A session where present and future MoD suppliers can share viewpoints and ideas. This Industry Engagement session is also an opportunity for networking between potential suppliers to the framework. Companies and Organisations who can contribute to this Early Market Engagement exercise and wish to attend the engagement day, either in-person or virtually, are required to join Team Defence Information for free and register for this event.
