Output Specifications (see attached for further information) will also be requested for each of the 6 Lots.

Those Invited to Tender will be provided a 3 year forecast of repair requirements for each NSN. Although this is the best indication of projected upcoming demand, it is nevertheless a forecast and therefore is subject to change.

Following the successful industry day in November 2020, we have taken in your feedback and expect to make a combination of volume and revenue commitments totalling in the region of £5M across the Lots set out below. The detail of volume and revenue commitments will be provided within the ITT documentation.

We hope the combination of forecasts, volume and revenue commitments enables suppliers to achieve greater efficiencies within their supply chains and workforce planning.

Drawings and/or associated specifications will be provided where available to issue as part of any eventual ITT.

To respond to this opportunity suppliers must read through this notice and complete the associated Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ).

The PQQ shall be assessed using the selection criteria given within the PQQ and within each question.
