## Description
As part of Team Hypersonics (UK)’s overall delivery strategy, it is the intention of the Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) to establish a multi-supplier Hypersonic Technologies & Capability Development Framework Agreement. The primary aim of the Framework will be to accelerate development of the United Kingdom Hypersonic Strike Capability.
The Framework is to provide a route to market up to Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 9 and to deliver future operational elements of a Hypersonic Strike capability, this will be a collaborative enterprise approach to accelerate the Ministry of Defence’s (MoD’s) acquisition of an advanced Hypersonic Strike capability.
It is anticipated that the Framework will have a value up to £1bn over a 7-year period.
This PIN relates to inviting suppliers to an Early Supplier Market Engagement Day, which will be held this summer with details to be confirmed shortly. The day will allow suppliers to gain valuable insight and provide feedback on this process and ensure the success of the Hypersonics programme.
Further details regarding the Early Supplier Market Engagement Day including registration and attendance requirements are contained in section VI.2 of this PIN.
The value advised within this PIN is an estimate at this stage and subject to ongoing programme development.
All subsequent procurement following this Early Supplier Market Engagement Day is at the discretion of the MoD and subject to approvals. Any further updates regarding future activity will be made through the appropriate advertising channels.
