Provision of Tailgate Exit Trainer equipment.

The TET system will be used to train military paratroopers on the correct method of aircraft exit drills, when deploying from the rear of military aircraft. The TET will require a permanent ground-based facility to allow paratroopers to train repetitively on aircraft tailgate exit drills.

It is anticipated that the TET will include a safe and robust training environment to enable trainees to undertake repetitive tailgate exits that reflect the conditions experienced at the rear of military aircraft during live exits, namely, aircraft propeller blast and slipstream. The intention is for this to include the ability to conduct video review and analysis to support trainee feedback and assessment.

The Authority are open to the potential establishment of a system which incorporates Virtual Reality (VR) where it can be demonstrated that this meets the key requirement of providing a realistic experience in accordance with the contract requirements. The planned location for the TET System is RAF Brize Norton (subject to relevant siting board approval).

Anticipated Contract

The anticipated contract is expected to cover the design, development, installation and initial spares/maintenance support for the TET equipment. The anticipated duration of the contract is 5 years, which will cover the completion of all of these activities. The proposed contract will be based upon MOD Standard Terms (Standard Contract 2), with additional conditions appropriate to the contract requirements.

This is expected to include specific Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), social value measures, and a limitation of contractor’s liability. The anticipated contract value is between £3,000,000 and £4,000,000 and it is the Authority’s intention to agree a Firm Price for this contract. However, the Authority will also look to seek feedback from Contractors on the most economically viable method of pricing.
