What is being bought

Published requirement description

This requirement is to facilitate training for Assault Improvised Explosive Device Disposal

(AIEDD) during Alpha Squadron's (Alpha Sqn) bi-annual workforce (WF) training periods.

This requirement is for provision of training for 2 years, with the option to be extended for

a further 2 years. The supplier must deliver the AIEDD training package across 5 weeks

of training per annum. Training will be delivered to a training cohort of Alpha Sqn

operators, and No2s. This is a total of 17 personnel.

  • No preliminary market engagement: In this instance, a preliminary market engagement notice was not published because the need for this requirement was only identified and developed within the last two months. Therefore, issuing an advance notice so close to the release of this Tender notice would not have been beneficial. Additionally, the contracting authority has sufficient knowledge of the market and potential suppliers based on previous similar requirements and market research
