Overview
The Air Defence & Maritime Radar (AD&MR) Delivery Team, part of the National Armaments Director (NAD) Group, is issuing a Request For Information (RFI) to help inform the Authority’s strategy for this requirement and is NOT part of any procurement procedure. The method used by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) to evaluate the detection and accuracy of Air Defence (AD) Radars is through flight checking.
A ground-based alternative is being considered to replicate the flight check and improve scientific and engineering rigour around the results obtained. Industry’s responses to this RFI will be used to inform a number of elements in the procurement strategy, such as the Commercial Model, requirement writing and setting, budget and the IP strategy.
Should the Authority wish to seek clarification or ask questions in relation to a RFI response, suppliers will be contacted on an individual, case by case basis. The Authority reserves the right to supplement and adjust the prior engagement process to ensure that it meets the Authority's needs.
Additional details
If the Authority makes changes to the engagement process, it will do so in a transparent manner to ensure that all suppliers who have expressed an interest are treated equally. Any participation in this market engagement phase and any response to this RFI is entirely at the participant's cost and risk. The MOD is under no obligation to proceed with a formal procurement or in any other way proceed with the procurement.
