Short description of requirement: Due to the closure of Royal Air Force (RAF) Henlow, The Royal Air Force Centre of Aviation Medicine (RAF CAM) must relocate to RAF Cranwell. As part of this relocation, there is a large amount of high and low specification equipment used for Aviation Medicine (AVMED) testing and training of Air Crew. In addition to the equipment requirement, there is a requirement to build new infrastructure to house the RAF CAM team and equipment. This work is being delivered through the Flight Simulators and Synthetic Trainers Team within Defence Equipment & Support. Under the Public Services (Social Value) Act (2013), industry is mandated to deliver additional social, economic, and/or environmental benefits to their area or stakeholders and moving forward will be mandated to do so for every new procurement within Defence. As part of delivering Social Value within the RAF CAM Relocation activity, the Authority has recognised that early market engagement is essential to investigate ways in which industry have captured this previously. By exploring lessons learned by industry and gaining this knowledge, the Authority can move forward with this mandated Social Value initiative. One to one discussion with the Authority will also be key to sharing this knowledge, having open dialogue on how best to encompass Social Value aspects within future contracts. The Authority is requesting information on the following topics: The sharing of previous experience and information in delivering against the Social Value themes is required to better understand how Social Value can be applied to the RAF CAM Relocation Project. The Authority is seeking information from industry regarding previous examples on how industry have encapsulated Social Value approaches when delivering a new building and/or new equipment. Furthermore, the Authority is interested to know which of the five outlined Social Value themes that industry would apply to this Project. Information Requested: Please note that this is a Request for Information (RfI) only. This request is not a commitment by the Authority to launch a formal procurement process and the requirement, described herein, is subject to change. The objective of this RfI is to explore alternative solutions to the current capabilities. Information shared at RfI stage may be shared at the Invitation to Tender (ITT) or the Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) stage of the procurement, if an ITT or ITN is pursued by the Authority. Information may be shared in relation to how the Requirement was prepared and developed. However, information resulting from any RfI marked 'Commercially Sensitive' by the respondent, will not be shared outside of the Authority. The Authority shall reserve the right to reject submissions marked as 'Commercially Sensitive'.
