## Description
Please see original PIN reference: 2023/S 000-009740 and 2023/S 000-0115
The DE&S Specialist Explosive Ordnance and Disposal (EOD), Exploitation and
Countermeasures (SEEC) Delivery Team (DT) have initiated a project for the Procurement and In-Service Support of a Radiological and Nuclear detector. The user group require the equipment to be capable of detecting both Gamma and Neutron emissions, monitor radiation levels to allow localisation of source and identify radioactive isotopes. A key component of the capability is that it can be mounted permanently (if required) onto the L3Harris T7 remote control vehicle (RCV). Furthermore, the capability must be able to display the information in real time to operators at the Incident control point (ICP) location and not hinder the routine operations of the RCV. The aspiration is that the detector can interface (through both software & hardware) with the L3Harris T7 and therefore prospective interested parties in this upcoming tender need to be content with sharing and collaboration activity with L3Harris to maximise this integration. Moreover, equipment testing at ITT and post contract award by DE&S may be required.
The current assumption is that the solution is likely to be Modified Off The Shelf (MOTS) and will include a requirement for through-life support for the capability. Through-life support will include spares, repairs, software updates, safety and configuration/ obsolescence management. The expectation is this capability will be in-service 2025 – 2035 although this is subject to change.
Full details shall be included at the Contract Notice and Invitation to Tender phase of the competition.
The classification of the requirement is up to and including OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE.
Please see 'Additional Information' section for Industry Day and DSEI information. Additional information: Procurement Timescales & Contract Value
The estimated total contract value is circa £4.5m ex VAT for a 5 year contract with the option to extend for a further 2 years. Estimated timescales are Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) early 2024, Invite to Tender (ITT) early to mid 2024 and Contract Award (CA) by late 2024.
Industry Day 
The Industry Day will take place in Bristol on Monday 16th October 2023 and will be an ‘in-person’ event. 
The Industry Day is a briefing from the Authority to Industry, during which the Authority will describe the requirement and integration strategy. The day will consist of a presentations, talks and Q&A sessions in which industry participation is encouraged. There will also be an opportunity to view the STARTER system with a demonstration and talk being provided by L3 Harris. We will invite Industry comments in relation to both the operational, and procurement and commercial strategies. All information gathered will be taken into consideration and may inform the future strategy of the programme, however, this is not guaranteed. A follow up document containing key information from the day will...
