What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Authority had a requirement for the purchase, validation and through life support for Lighting and Power Distribution System (LAPDS). LAPDS is a plug-in, outdoor distribution system that supplies the power needs of temporary domestic and technical accommodation installations globally. It distributes three-phase and single-phase mains power (230V and 110V) available for catering, air conditioning, heating and welfare facilities. LAPDS can be supplied from generators via a Generator Interface Unit or from a permanent Host Nation Supply (HNS).

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. The Project Aim is to deliver additional Lighting and Power Distribution System (LAPDS) to replenish stocks and support Exercises and Operations until the future projects Manoeuvre Shelter (MAN S) and Static Infrastructure and Project (SIP) delivers a replacement. There are currently not enough In-Service LAPDS assets to meet the current operational reserve and support the increased demands and usage for LAPDS on Exercises and Operations. Therefore, this procurement is required to ensure the capability is uplifted to fulfil anticipated demands for on-going and future Operations and Exercises.
