## Description
RAFCAM Overview 
As the Defence lead for Aviation Medicine (AvMed), RAF Centre for Aviation Medicine (RAF CAM) provides support across the full range of Defence Tasks (DTs). It provides deployed and Firm Base medical support to operations, Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) training for aircrew and aviation-focused Human Factors analysis. RAF CAM specifically provides: 
a. Expert advice, support and services to MOD, Frontline Commands (FLCs), Military Aviation Authority (MAA), Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB), Duty Holders, Project Teams, academia and commercial organisations. 
b. Expert support to platform development and integration including supporting urgent operational requirements. 
c. Expert human factors and biodynamic advice to Defence Accident Investigation Branch (DAIB) incident and accident investigations. 
d. AvMed Training to Tri-Service and international aircrew and medical personnel aiming to decrease Risk to Life posed by flying and aviation operations. 
e. Lead for AvMed and Aeromedical policy. 
f. The RAF Medical Board and specialist clinical assessment of Tri-Service aircrew and air traffic controllers. 
g. Occupational and Environmental Health support.
In 2015, SoS announced that RAF Henlow would close as part of the Defence Estates Optimisation Programme (DEOP). To accommodate the relocation of the RAF CAM capability a new building must be constructed on a site within the secured perimeter at RAF Cranwell, near Sleaford in Lincolnshire.

The purpose of this procurement is to relocate the Royal Air Force (RAF) Centre of Aviation Medicine (CAM) from RAF Henlow to RAF Cranwell into a new purpose-built facility. The requirement also includes equipment and on-going support. 
Infrastructure
This requirement will include the design and build of the new facility at RAF Cranwell.  The building shall provide suitable infrastructure for the integration and maintenance of the RAF CAM equipment, staff and visitors with the layout optimised for operational and training efficiency. The building shall include all equipment facilities and external areas, ICT infrastructure, access and fire detection systems, communication systems and training rooms required for the effective delivery of the RAF CAM capability. 
The building shall interface with existing on-site utilities without impinging on station operations and shall accord with the station requirements for fire and safety regulations. As a consequence, the building shall not exceed 10m in height. 
The design, construction, and operation of the building shall apply the Policy framework and overarching direction as defined within JSP 850, the Building Information Modelling (BIM) Level 2 standards for the System Infrastructure design and handover documentation and the DIO Defence Related Environmental Assessment Methodology (DREAM) environmental assessment tool. (Information on these policies is available on the Internet.)
