The brief

Project: Commanders Thermal Optic (CTO) - Contract Bidders Notice to advise the market who has been invited to tender.

The Authority intends to place a multi-product, multi-supplier Framework Agreement contract for handheld thermal optics (Long Wave Infra-Red).

The possible total contract value is anticipated to be up to £8M ex-VAT (SUBJECT TO CONTRACT) across multiple suppliers.

The purpose of this framework is to enable the Authority to flexibly procure the CTO capability for Front Line Commands (FLCs) over the next 7 years dependent on user requirements and funding.

It is the Authority's intent for support to be provided via the Surveillance Target Acquisition Support Contract.

Potential Providers must be willing to place a sub-contract agreement with the Supplier providing support under the Surveillance Target Acquisition Support Contract.

The Authority intends to hold a Contract Bidders' Conference (CBC) to DPQQ down-selected suppliers.

This shall include a discussion around Social Value (SV).

Potential Providers shall discuss and agree Method Statements, KPIs and timed action plans.

The Authority has final agreement of Social Value, and the SV shall be incorporated into the Invitation to Tender (ITT) and issued to Potential Providers.

Following the CBC, we will issue an addendum to the Contract Bidders Notice to include redacted ITT documentation.

The Cyber Risk Level associated with this project has been assessed as 'Very Low'.
