technical specification for firefighting helmets and integrated communication systems;\n•\tCommenting on technical feasibility, standards, interoperability, and integration with existing Royal Navy firefighting PPE and radio systems; and\n•\tOptionally offering sample helmets and communication components that may meet the draft requirement, to support the Authority’s understanding of available solutions.\nAny samples provided will be used solely to inform requirement development and will not be subject to formal evaluation or comparison.\nConduct of the Engagement\nThis engagement is conducted in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and relevant MOD commercial policy. It is not a call for competition.\nParticipation is voluntary and will not provide any supplier with an advantage in any subsequent procurement.

Where information is shared more widely, it will be summarised and anonymised to protect commercial sensitivities.\nNo Commitment\nThe Authority is not obliged to proceed with a procurement following this engagement. Any future opportunity will be advertised separately.\nAny costs incurred by suppliers in participating in this engagement, including the provision of samples, are incurred at the supplier’s own risk.\nSuppliers wishing to participate in this preliminary market engagement should engage as follows:\n•\tRegister interest by responding to this notice in accordance with the instructions set out below.\n•\tReview the draft specification provided by the Authority and submit written feedback, comments, or observations by the stated deadline.\n•\tClearly identify any assumptions, constraints, or dependencies associated with their feedback, including standards, certifications, or interoperability considerations.\n•\tOptionally, offer sample helmets and associated communication components that may meet the draft requirement. Any samples offered must be clearly described and provided on a no commitment basis.\n•\tSubmit all responses and supporting information in writing via the method specified in this notice. Informal approaches outside this process will not be considered.\nParticipation\nPlease review the draft cardinal specification sheet and complete the questionnaire. Both documents are available on the Defence Sourcing Portal here: \nhttps://contracts.mod.uk/esop/guest/go/opportunity/detail?opportunityId=61039\nOnce complete, please return the questionnaire to DESCommercial-PPA@mod.gov.uk, ensuring you include PPA/017 in the subject line.\nIf you have indicated you wish to offer samples, an MOD representative will be in contact to confirm delivery arrangements." } ], "dueDate": [ { "releaseID": "042113-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-07T16:14:34+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "2026-05-31T23:59:59+01:00" } ], "status": [ { "releaseID": "042113-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-05-07T16:14:34+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "scheduled" } ] } ] }, "parties": [ { "id": "GB-PPON-PVRL-5831-GLMM", "name": [ { "releaseID": "024222-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-03-17T15:55:15Z", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "Defence Equipment and Support" } ], "identifier": { "scheme": [ { "releaseID": "024222-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-03-17T15:55:15Z", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "GB-PPON" } ], "id": [ { "releaseID": "024222-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-03-17T15:55:15Z", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "PVRL-5831-GLMM" } ] }, "address": { "streetAddress": [ { "releaseID": "024222-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-03-17T15:55:15Z", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "MOD Abbey Wood" } ], "locality": [ { "releaseID": "024222-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-03-17T15:55:15Z", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "Bristol" } ], "postalCode": [ { "releaseID": "024222-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-03-17T15:55:15Z", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "BS34 8JH" } ], "country": [ { "releaseID": "024222-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-03-17T15:55:15Z", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "GB" } ], "countryName": [ { "releaseID": "024222-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-03-17T15:55:15Z", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "United Kingdom" } ], "region": [ { "releaseID": "024222-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-03-17T15:55:15Z", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "UKK12" } ] }, "contactPoint": { "email": [ { "releaseID": "024222-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-03-17T15:55:15Z", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "DESCommercial-PPA@mod.gov.uk" } ], "name": [ { "releaseID": "096315-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-10-12T18:17:21+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "tender" ], "value": "PPA Commercial" } ] }, "roles": [ { "releaseID": "024222-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-03-17T15:55:15Z", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": [ "buyer" ] } ], "details": { "url": [ { "releaseID": "024222-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-03-17T15:55:15Z", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/defence-equipment-and-support" } ], "classifications": [ { "releaseID": "024222-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-03-17T15:55:15Z", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": [ { "scheme": "UK_CA_TYPE", "id": "publicAuthorityCentralGovernment", "description": "Public authority - central government" } ] } ] } } ], "buyer": { "id": [ { "releaseID": "024222-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-03-17T15:55:15Z", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "GB-PPON-PVRL-5831-GLMM" } ], "name": [ { "releaseID": "024222-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-03-17T15:55:15Z", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "Defence Equipment and Support" } ] }, "tender": { "id": [ { "releaseID": "024222-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-03-17T15:55:15Z", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "PPA/017" } ], "legalBasis": { "id": [ { "releaseID": "024222-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-03-17T15:55:15Z", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "2023/54" } ], "scheme": [ { "releaseID": "024222-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-03-17T15:55:15Z", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "UKPGA" } ], "uri": [ { "releaseID": "024222-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-03-17T15:55:15Z", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents" } ] }, "title": [ { "releaseID": "024222-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-03-17T15:55:15Z", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "715794488 - PPA/017 - Naval Firefighting Helmet & Communication System" } ], "description": [ { "releaseID": "024222-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-03-17T15:55:15Z", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S), Power, Propulsion and Auxiliaries (PPA), on behalf of the Ministry of Defence, is exploring options to procure a replacement Firefighting Helmet & Communication System (FFHCS) for use aboard Royal Navy vessels.
