    "description": "The purpose of this Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to inform the market that the Authority has a potential requirement for the purchase, validation and through life support for Lighting and Power Distribution.\nLAPDS is a plug-in, outdoor distribution system that supplies the power needs of temporary domestic and technical accommodation installations globally. It distributes three-phase and single-phase mains power (230V and 110V) available for catering, air conditioning, heating and welfare facilities. LAPDS can be supplied from generators via a Generator Interface Unit or from a permanent Host Nation Supply (HNS).\nThe Authority is also looking to gain further information in order to assist in the development of its future procurement strategy, high level costings and requirements gathering. All information will be unattributable and non- product specific for the wider team; the Commercial team will keep the entire responses under strict control. \nThis PIN is not a commitment by the Authority to launch a formal procurement procedure. The aim of this PIN, and the returns from Industry, will be used to understand how Industry proposals will meet supply, cost and timescales requirements. This PIN invites Industry suppliers to provide information on how they might intend to supply, integrate, test and support of our Lighting and Power Distribution Requirement as well as to inform the market that the Authority has a potential requirement. \nThe PIN also gives potential suppliers the opportunity to comment on the proposed requirement and perhaps offer amendments or alternative solutions which might produce better value for money.II.4) \nThe Operational Infrastructure Delivery Team (OI DT), part of the Land Equipment Operating Centre in DE&S, is responsible for the procurement and in-service support of equipment used by the British ARMY during operations. \nThe Project Aim is to deliver additional Lighting and Power Distribution System (LAPDS) to replenish stocks and support Exercises and Operations until the future projects Manoeuvre Shelter (MAN S) and Static Infrastructure and Project (SIP) delivers a replacement. There are currently not enough In-Service LAPDS assets to meet the current operational reserve and support the increased demands and usage for LAPDS on Exercises and Operations. Therefore, this procurement is required to ensure the capability is uplifted to fulfil anticipated demands for on-going and future Operations and Exercises.\nTo provide potential providers with guidance on the desired scope, key requirements are summarised below. The key requirements set out are not exhaustive but does give an indication of the Users Key Requirements. \nEquipment Key Requirements\na)\tLAPDS shall be able to operate in Core Region environments. \nb)\tThe system shall be capable of being transported and stored at the lowest value of atmospheric pressure for the highest elevation contemplated for NATO forces.\nc)\tThe system shall remain safe, with no drop in performance, when exposed to precipitation\nd)\tLAPDS shall operate when under the effects of snow loading\ne)\tLAPDS shall be protected from the effects of Lightning Strikes and Electrical Storms. \nf)\tThe System shall be suitable for transport, operation, maintenance and storage by personnel with a wide range of user characteristics\ng)\tLAPDS shall be able to interface with current UK forces and civilian power generation equipment.  \nh)\tThe System and associated elements shall be capable of disposal by the authority safely and economically at the end of its in-service life. \nLogistical Support Key Requirements\nILS Elements to support initial equipment procurement, to include;\na)\tSupportability Analysis\nb)\tInitial Spares identification and supply\nc)\tTechnical Documentations to support Trials, Training and initial delivery.\nd)\tTraining provision\nILS Elements to support the equipment throughout its In-Service life, to include\ne)\tContinued spares support\nf)\tUpkeep of Technical Documentation\ng)\tOEM Repair capability Additional information: To assist the Authority in its project planning and in line with desired outcomes stated in the Description, potential industry suppliers are requested to provide responses to the following questions:\na)\t Outline a Solution to satisfy the Authority’s Key Equipment Requirements. Indicate the required Industry and / or Defence Standards ( Electrical, Safety , Reliability etc) which would be required to be met for your solution. \nb)\t How long would you estimate you need to manufacture, test and commission the proposed solution.\nc)\t What is the Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) cost for the delivery of the proposed solution per Unit including verification and commissioning? The ROM cost should include for a Safety Case , Technical Publication, Training Material and Training sessions. \nd)\t   What Through-Life Support solution would you be able to provide (including but not limited to the Logistical Support Key Requirements)? \ne)\t What is the ROM cost for a year for the Through-Life Support of the proposed solution?",
