Description

TESIK is required to provide the infrastucture, Tactical Engagement Simulation (TES) instrumentation and resources, via a fully managed service, to support Light Role Collective Training (CT) events. The CT events will predominantly be delivered via the STORM series of Exercises at British Army Training Unit Kenya (BATUK) but could be utilised to support other CT or Defence Activities globally upon demand.
TESIK is to enable force elements to conduct realistic, live dry, force on force training whilst movements and combat performance of individuals, nominated vehicles and equipment are tracked, monitored and recorded. This is to provide objective evidence to support After Action Review (AAR), constructive feedback to the training audience, and evidence to support the documenting of the achievement of Collective Training Objectives (CTO) by Force Elements for the Chain of Command. On completion of the CT event, this data is to be presented to the Authority for storage and future use.
TESIK must have the capability to integrate with the Synthetic Wrap capability provided by Project SCOPIC / SCOPIC2 (simulated ISTAR feed). There must be scope to integrate additional instrumented capabilities should they be developed and delivered during the life of the contract.
TESIK must have the capacity to be interoperable with other UK TES systems and the TES systems used by NATO allies.
It is anticipated that the contract duration shall run from 01 Sep 2020 through to 31 Aug 2025. The Authority shall also have irrevocable options to extend the contract by a further 2 x 1 year until 31 Aug 2027.
In issuing this Contract Notice and engaging with the Market, the Authority is not committing to carrying out any procurement in relation to the requirements stated in this notice. If third parties are interested in engaging with the Authority in relation to the requirements stated here they must do so without sharing information that is protected by copyright or patents.
