Description
In April 2015 the MOD signed a thirteen year contract with Leidos Europe Ltd to provide the procurement and inventory management of commodity items (as well as the storage and distribution services) historically provided in-house by the Logistic Commodities and Services Operating Centre. Leidos, working with the MOD, will transform the way these services are delivered to ensure requirements continue to be met whilst providing best value for money for the department. The organisation delivering these services is known as Team Leidos.
Team Leidos would like to make markets aware that we are intending to investigate approaches to fill our Aural protection requirements.
It is the aim of this Preliminary Market Engagement Notice (PMEN) to encourage companies, suppliers, or manufacturers to make us aware and provide as much information as they are comfortable with, to help decide the future strategy for the range.
Team Leidos wishes to generate interest, information and views with other companies to understand the current market and gain useful intelligence that can help our requirement;
The hearing protection is to provide two modes of protection. One giving 15dB of attenuation once sound levels reach 90dB and a lower level mode giving 9dB of attenuation once sound levels reach 90dB. Response times should be near-instantaneous, i.e. fast attach and release times, to account for loud impulse sounds and well as continuous noise levels.
