This will consist of an overview of the requirement and contracting approach, including an indicative procurement timeline; a questionnaire to gain supplier feedback; and a question and answer session. Furthermore, there will also be the ability to view equipment in scope of the requirement, and a question and answer session. Subject matter experts will be available to answer technical questions.\nPlease note, the date stated above may be subject to change.\nThe aim of the day is to:\na) determine if there is an established market that can meet the Authority’s requirements and enable a successful competition to be run;\nb) provide suppliers with an overview of the requirement, e.g. type/volume of equipment that needs to be supported/bought; \nc) gain suppliers’ opinions on the requirement and proposed contracting approach (e.g. amendments to the four proposed Lots) \nd) provide suppliers the mechanism to suggest alternative ways of meeting the overarching requirement; and\ne) provide the opportunity for suppliers to discuss opportunities with one another (e.g. sub-contracting and forming consortia, etc) \nIf you are interested in attending this day, please submit expressions of interest to desshipscomrcl-salmo-multiuser@mod.gov.uk by 12:00 hours on 26/03/2025.\nMore information, including booking onto site, timings and maximum number of attendees will be provided to those who register their interest.\nThe supplier shall bear all costs of their attendance at the industry day. \nFor the avoidance of doubt, this notice is not a call for competition. Any comments, indications of interest, participation, or non-participation by any organisation at this stage will not influence the process, selection and/or award decision for any future possible procurement, nor will it be taken as a supplier’s committed position. Non-participation in the industry day will not exclude you from any possible future competition for this requirement."

"description": "This notice serves to inform Industry of the Authority’s intention to conduct market engagement in the form of holding two industry days for this requirement.\nA market interest day will be held on 02/04/2025 at MoD Abbey Wood, Bristol. This will consist of an overview of the requirement and contracting approach, including an indicative procurement timeline; a questionnaire to gain supplier feedback; and a question and answer session.\nAn equipment familiarisation day will be held on 03/04/2025 at the Defence Diving School, Horsea Island, Portsmouth. This will consist of the ability to view equipment in scope of the requirement, and a question and answer session. Subject matter experts will be available to answer technical questions. \nPlease note, the dates stated above may be subject to change.\nThe aim of the two days is to:\na) determine if there is an established market that can meet the Authority’s requirements and enable a successful competition to be run;\nb) provide suppliers with an overview of the requirement, e.g. type/volume of equipment that needs to be supported/bought; \nc) gain suppliers’ opinions on the requirement and proposed contracting approach (e.g. amendments to the four proposed Lots) \nd) provide suppliers the mechanism to suggest alternative ways of meeting the overarching requirement; and\ne) provide the opportunity for suppliers to discuss opportunities with one another (e.g. sub-contracting and forming consortia, etc) \nIf you are interested in attending either or both days, please submit expressions of interest to desshipscomrcl-salmo-multiuser@mod.gov.uk by 17:00 hours on 24/03/2025. \nMore information, including booking onto site, timings and maximum number of attendees will be provided to those who register their interest.\nThe supplier shall bear all costs of their attendance at the industry days. \nFor the avoidance of doubt, this notice is not a call for competition. Any comments, indications of interest, participation, or non-participation by any organisation at this stage will not influence the process, selection and/or award decision for any future possible procurement, nor will it be taken as a supplier’s committed position. Non-participation in the industry days will not exclude you from any possible future competition for this requirement."
