Additional text
-
As this procurement relates to the provision of services for military purposes, the Authority will comply with the Defence & Security Public Contract Regulations (DSPCR 2011). The procurement will operate under the negotiated procedure with prior publication of a contract notice (the "competitive negotiated procedure").
The Defence Sourcing Portal (DSP) will be used to manage the DPQQ and Invitation to Negotiation (ITN) process, including evaluation. Access to the DSP is required to complete the DPQQ and it is recommended that access is requested via Supplier Registration Page.
Following DPQQ evaluation, the Authority intends to invite a maximum of 4 (four) respondents to the ITN phase. The Authority reserves the right to award the Contract to the Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT) in accordance with the scoring criteria following evaluation of the tenders.
The Authority trades using the electronic 'Contracting, Purchasing & Finance' system (CP&F). Before completing the DPQQ, any interested parties should ensure that they have the ability to trade electronically, and the willingness connect to the CP&F System in the event of being successful.
A Cyber Risk Assessment has been conducted for this requirement to ascertain the level of Cyber Risk present. The result of this assessment is that a Cyber Risk level of 'Low' exists and therefore successful respondents invited to ITT will need to meet Cyber Essentials requirements. Respondents can verify their readiness to comply with opportunities bearing this Cyber Risk Level by completing a Supplier Assurance Questionnaire using RAR code: RAR-303384308
For further information refer to Def Stan 05-138, available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cyber-security-for-defence-suppliers-def-stan-05-138
The issue of this Contract Notice (CN) or any future ITN or ITN material is not a commitment by the Authority to place a contract as a result of this competition or at a later stage. Any expenditure, work or effort undertaken prior to any offer and subsequent acceptance of contract, is a matter solely for your commercial judgement.
The Authority has conducted previous industry engagement using Defence Sourcing Portal, with a Request for Information (RFI) published 26/04/2023: https://www.contracts.mod.uk/go/83440377018C5EB7E7D3
The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
