## About this tender

This is an Opportunity Notice for the High G Test and Training Service Contract (710340458). This notice invites suppliers to register an interest and complete the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) for this project via the Defence Sourcing Portal.

The High G Test & Training Facility (HGTTF) provides critical High G training for fast jet aircrew as mandated by NATO standardisation agreement (STANAG's) and Military Aviation Authority (MAA) Regulatory Articles in a safe environment. It also has the capability to carry out testing and research.

The HGTTF provides G force training under RAF Centre of Aerospace Medicine (RAF CAM) control for a range of training conditions. Operational Aircrew (Refresher), new military Aircrew and specialist staff are taught to cope with forces of up to +9Gz, nine times normal gravity whilst controlling their aircraft as they would do in a flight simulator. RAF CAM staff train aircrew to recognise the effects of G-force and develop techniques to counteract these effects, in a safe and controlled realistic environment. By developing pilots' abilities to withstand high G-force on the ground, under realistic flying conditions, the HGTTF significantly enhances safety in the air. The HGTTF is also used to conduct testing for the effects of G-force on equipment intended to be used in Aircraft where high G force may be applied.

The Authority requires the following:

- Management and equipment maintenance of the High G Centrifuge.
- Provision of Co-ordinating Design Organisation engineering services via the support and management of the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) / Design Authority (DA), to enable safe delivery of the test and training capability.
- Implementation and management of Post Design Services (PDS) Taskings and repairs as required.
- Provision of Suitably Qualified & Experienced Personnel (SQEP) to deliver/oversee the aircrew training programme in compliance with Quality Standards, and Safety & Environmental Standards.
- Provision of Training delivery and Management of Support services through working closely with the Customer, RAF CAM, to manage trainees, testing and research at the Facility.
- Management of Security and Information Assurance in accordance with UK Government policies and guidance.
- Provision of Integrated Logistics Support including the management of Authority issued GFA; Spares which may be subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR); Management or support of a third-party supply system; maintenance of Aircrew Equipment Assemblies (AEA).

Cyber Security: For the purposes of Cyber Security this requirement has been assessed with a Cyber Risk Profile: Low. The Risk Assessment Reference is RAR-240319A09.

The Authority's intention is to place a contract that will have a duration of up to 10 years, which will be comprised of 8 core years, with the addition of two 12-month optional periods.
