The 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.

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 design, supply, integrate, test and support of our 350kVa Generator Requirement as well as to inform the market that the Authority has a potential requirement. The 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) The 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.
