Description

This is a Voluntary Transparency Notice for the proposed Contract 713095450 - MHC Block 2 Remote Command Centre (RCC) Integration and Supply.

The requirement for the Authority's MHC team covers:
1. The requirement to integrate the currently disparate and separately controlled range of key MHC platforms and autonomous capabilities into the Thales MMCM RCC to deliver a single, unified RCC, thereby allowing integrated command, control and operation of the full range of MHC platforms, systems and sub-systems.
2. The potential provision of additional unified RCCs - to the same or slightly amended specification.
3. The provision of associated software, training and SME technical advice in support of the integration activities and wider MHC capability delivery.

This notice is not a request for expressions of interest so please do not apply to be invited to tender. This notice advises that the Authority has decided to negotiate a contract with Thales UK Ltd on a Single Source QDC basis and is published for the purpose of transparency. If you are interested in becoming a sub-contractor for this requirement, you should apply directly to the supplier named within this notice.

This UK MoD/DE&S procurement was initiated before the Procurement Act 2023 was introduced, and therefore the DSPCR 2011 regulations are applicable.
