Overview
HIAL is seeking information from suitably qualified suppliers to inform the procurement strategy for the replacement of the existing Primary Surveillance Radar (PSR) serving Sumburgh Airport, Shetland. HIAL seeks to procure a suitably qualified supplier to provide a replacement Primary Surveillance Radar system for Sumburgh Airport.
The scope of the contract includes the detailed design, manufacture, supply, installation, commissioning and acceptance of the radar system, together with all associated documentation, testing and regulatory support required to achieve operational readiness. The precise scope of any future procurement remains under development and forms part of the purpose of this market engagement exercise.
The procurement forms a key element of a wider Sumburgh PSR Replacement Project. Associated activities including land acquisition, provision of electrical power and communications points of presentation, certain property matters and ongoing maintenance arrangements fall outside the proposed contract scope.
Additional details
The supplier will be expected to provide and deliver the infrastructure, radar compound, civil engineering and associated works required to deliver an operational capability from the defined points of presentation. The final allocation of responsibilities between HIAL and the appointed supplier will be confirmed as part of any future procurement process.
Additional information: HIAL invites interested suppliers to complete the accompanying Request for Information (RFI) relating to the potential Primary Surveillance Radar replacement at Sumburgh Airport. The information received will be used to assess market capability, indicative costs, delivery timescales, risks and support the development of the procurement strategy.
