The brief

The Manufacture And Supply Of Life Preservers, Anti-G Trousers And Associated Spares The Air Commodities Team, part of the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD), intends to award a 14 month Contract to Survitec Group for the manufacture of the Mk42/43 Survitec Life Preservers and associated spares commencing in March 2016.
