Description

Specialist Explosive Ordinance Demolition, Exploitation & Countermeasures (SEEC) Delivery Team (DT) are considering initiating a project to procure a suite of handheld detectors to provide the backbone for specialist and intermediate search users in Defence. The MOD requires a suite of ground search detectors to provide the following: A single detector to provide a crush wire, low metal, no metal and metal detect capability (est. Qty 1060) A capability to provide a wide area Ground Penetrating Radar (est. qty x20) / deep buried detect with bore hole capability (est. qty 130) A capability to provide a pinpoint metal detect (est. Qty 525) A capability to provide localised crush wire (est. Qty 1030) / metal detect (est. Qty 115) A capability to provide passive / active wire detect (est. Qty 250) The Authority will be purchasing detectors to equip advance and intermediate search teams across Defence. Each requirement will also include an in-service package which may include but not limited to: spares provision, repairs services, safety and environmental management, obsolescence management and technical support. It is expected that this programme will be split into several procurements, with each project having its own schedule. However, the Authority may also look to collate several requirements into fewer contracts wherever those opportunities arise. Each contract is expected to have a duration of five years with options to extend by an additional two years. The estimated value of this programme in its totality is approximately £100M. Please see 'additional information' section for early market engagement details. In issuing this PIN, The Authority is not committing to commence with any procurement in relation to the requirements stated in this PIN.
