Prior Information Notice Questionnaire - Generation after next Materials - Centres of Excellence
Purpose:
The purpose of this Prior Information Notice (PIN) questionnaire is to:
•	Share information on Dstl’s current thinking regarding future collaborative working with current and potential new Centres of Excellence, in relation to different aspects of Advanced Materials.
•	Obtain views and feedback on this from the market, including responses to the questions detailed in this document.
•	Provide the ability for the market to highlight areas of opportunity/innovation that Dstl are not currently aware of.
•	Obtain information from the market in response to the Prior Information Notice Questionnaire.
•	Use the feedback and information to inform and support the development of Dstl’s future Business Case(s) and Procurement strategy.
This PIN questionnaire is not a request for a full proposal or bid nor should it be taken to be a call for competition, it is purely to obtain information from early engagement with the market.
Background:
The Dstl Materials for Strategic Advantage Science and Technology (S&T) Programme is exploring different ways of working to deliver future research. To supplement existing routes to market, Dstl is exploring working collaboratively with UK Centres of Excellence on different aspects / topics of Advanced Materials.  The Purpose of this PIN questionnaire is to assist Dstl in preparing a Business Case and Procurement Strategy for this future requirement.
The PIN questionnaire is seeking feedback and advice from the market to help understand the value add and potential cost of the approach; this is not a request for proposals or tenders at this stage. Any information provided will be treated as a public disclosure which will provide Dstl with the right to free and unrestricted use of it. If you have any concerns with regards to this, please do contact us so that we can discuss this with you.
The aims of working collaboratively with Centres of Excellence include:
•	Accelerating the development of advanced materials for generation-after-next (GAN) defence capabilities
•	Engaging with and linking to other entities in the ecosystem to support work and transition for onward development and exploitation
•	Contributing to stewardship of S&T capability (Suitable Qualified and Experienced Personnel (SQEP) and facilities)
•	Strengthening and achieving resilient access to expertise and expert advice for the UK.
Owing to budgets and scope, it is envisaged that key topics of interest, and therefore collaboration with individual Centres of Excellence, will be cycled every ~5 years. Dstl encourages and welcomes responses to this Prior Information Notice questionnaire from Centres of Excellence that are either established or are in the detailed planning stages to achieve an initial operating capability (IOC) before 2025.
We are considering currently two main purposes of working collaboratively with Centres of Excellence that we would welcome your thoughts and feedback on, these being:–
1.	Establishing a technology focus in priority areas for defence materials research, primarily to support S&T project delivery through a portfolio of funded projects, including access to specialist facilities.
2.	Support to the development of SQEP, including the ability to access more wide-ranging materials facilities.
Current thinking is that collaborative working with ~3 individual Centres of Excellence at any one time would be viable. However, Dstl is interested in obtaining feedback to different models and ways of working; therefore there is a section in the Questionnaire to highlight opportunities that Dstl may not have considered but which could be useful collaborative working opportunities to help deliver the accelerated development of defence materials technology.
Advanced Materials Technology-focused Centres of Excellence:
The aim of working collaboratively with Technology-focused Centres of Excellence is to access leading capabilities (expertise and equipment) to deliver Science and Technology projects with Dstl. Although the exact mix of projects will be dependent on the technology area and customer priorities, it is envisaged that a Centre will be able to support projects across the TRL range 1-6  as the aim of working collaboratively will be to both discover new approaches and accelerate the most promising Materials technology over a 4-5 year timescale. It is envisaged that the primary focus of work will be in TRL ranges 1-4, with only the most promising developments (e.g. 1-2) to be accelerated to TRL6 (with cognisance of manufacturing needs and digital-ready considerations).
Centres of Excellence will be leaders in the research and development of the associated materials technology. They will have (or as a Centre of Excellence have access to) state of the art facilities associated with the specific area and a track record of delivery, including through collaboration with industry and academia. Centres of Excellence will be able to put in place appropriate agreements and mechanisms to respect and exploit Intellectual Property and to work collaboratively by design. It is anticipated that Centres of Excellence may need to evolve over time (e.g. new partners to help accelerate technology developments subject to Dstl’s approval); therefore Centres of Excellence should have the ability and agility to do this.
The Advanced Materials Strategic Capability in Dstl does not run its own laboratories. Therefore, we are also exploring opportunities to develop mutually agreeable ways of working that may help our staff maintain their technical skill sets as part of collaborative working with Centres of Excellence.
The Advanced Materials technical areas of interest, which we would welcome your view and feedback on, including any wider scope/opportunity are (order does not reflect a priority):
1.	Materials for Extreme Environments:
Interrogation and design of the processing – structure – properties – performance relationships in advanced materials (structural and functional) through:
(a) modelling and simulation;
(b) state-of-the-art materials characterisation and testing facilities;
(c) processing facilities across TRL-relevant scales (from laboratory to industrially relevant);
(d) component prototyping (depending on TRL goal);
(e) digital tools to support materials assurance.
Dstl is interested in hearing from Centres of Excellence with existing or planned future expertise and facilities associated with any of the following extreme environments:
o	Extremes of temperature, e.g. temperatures greater than 1000 °C, including in oxidising environments
o	Polar to tropical operations and associated environmental challenges
o	Vibration and fatigue
o	Impact and shock
o	Radiation
o	Vacuum (e.g. outgassing)
o	Water depth
o	Erosion and accretion, e.g. sand, dust, ice
o	Although not necessarily considered an ‘extreme’ environment, Dstl is also interested in understanding the implications of typical service life
in a defence environment context on the performance of materials
2.	Materials for the congested electromagnetic environment:
Discovery; modelling, simulation and design; materials and component fabrication and prototyping; materials and component characterisation and testing; collaborative research and innovation
o	Metamaterials
o	Functional, smart and animate materials
o	Enabling advances in antenna functionality and integration into platforms, the soldier and infrastructure for communications, sensing and
other electromagnetic activities
3.	Accelerated Materials Discovery:
The rapid design and assessment of new or improved materials and associated manufacturing processes for generation after next defence capabilities in air, land, maritime, space or weapons domains. Improvement may not be just related to performance but could be to reduce the reliance on scarce or very expensive materials and elements and should include environmentally responsible approaches to the development of new materials for defence applications.
Accelerated materials discovery will employ the tools of:
(a) modelling and simulation at different length and temporal scales and supporting characterisation at those scales;
(b) high throughput and potentially accelerated materials characterisation and testing;
(c) sub-scale but relevant processing methods;
(d) digital tools to support prototype design studies. Structural, functional and multi-functional materials are all in scope, including, but not limited
to, ceramics, metals, polymers, composites, adhesives and coatings. Properties of interest will depend on the application and could include, but not be limited to, mechanical (for relevant loading types and strain rates), acoustic, physical, thermal, optical, electrical, magnetic, environmental (e.g. corrosion).
Note on Engineering Biology:
As an emerging technology, engineering biology has the potential to transform many sectors and address major global grand challenges including materials-relevant issues such as decarbonisation, remediation, and recycling, as well as allowing production of novel precursors and facilitating control of microstructure. As such, we would also be interested to see how links between potential Centres of Excellence and local engineering biology expertise could be exploited, although we are not currently looking for feedback on Centres of Excellence for Engineering Biology as a separate entity.
Miscellaneous:
Dstl is also interested in receiving responses that propose different approaches to harness the expertise of the UK in an efficient manner, or in those that represent existing Centres of Excellence in Advanced Materials technology areas that are not listed but could be of importance to Defence and Security Applications.

Questions and Answers:
1.	 Is a response required to this PIN questionnaire in order to be selected for any future Procurement activity?
A. No - this stage is for the purpose of obtaining information to support Dstl’s understanding of what could be available from the market and to support business case and procurement strategy planning.  This is not a call for competition. Should a future procurement result from the PIN advert this will be run in a fair and open competition in accordance with the appropriate Procurement Legislation.
2.	Does the Questionnaire response have to cover the scope of all Centres of Excellence areas of interest?
A. No - we are interested in responses that cover the scope of any individual Centre of Excellence in order to understand the breadth of current opportunities.
3.	Our Centre cannot cover all the TRLs listed - is it still of interest?
A. We are looking to work collaboratively with leading experts - the Centre should be able to cover the majority of TRLs but could have access to established collaborative networks to deliver certain aspects (e.g. academic Centres collaborating externally with industry to cover high TRLs, industrial Centres of Excellence collaborating externally with academia to cover low TRLs).
It is also recognised that TRLs may need to differ between Centres of Excellence; we welcome feedback on the appropriate scope and level of ambition associated with each technical area of interest.
4.	Our organisation is focused on programme / project management capable of managing engagements with Centres of Excellence - is this of interest?
A. Not at this stage; this PIN questionnaire is focused on feedback directly from organisations with existing Centres of Excellence or those maturing in planning.
5. What is meant by TRL levels?
TRLs can be considered as described in the Table below, with TRLs 1-6 being the primary interest associated with this PIN advert:
                      MOD TECHNOLOGY READINESS LEVELS AND THEIR DEFINITIONS
9	Actual Technology System qualified through reliability and maintainability demonstration in service.	Application of the technology in its final form and under mission conditions, such as those encountered in operational test and evaluation and reliability trials. Examples include using the system under operational mission conditions.
8	Actual technology system completed and qualified through test and demonstration.	Technology has been proven to work in its final form and under expected conditions. In almost all cases, this TRL represents the end of Demonstration. Examples include test and evaluation of the system in its intended weapon system to determine if it meets design specifications, including those relating to supportability.
7	Technology system prototype demonstration in an operational environment	Prototype near or at planned operational system. Represents a major step up from TRL 6, requiring the demonstration of an actual system prototype in an operational environment, such as in an aircraft or vehicle. Information to allow supportability assessments is obtained. Examples include testing the prototype in a test bed aircraft.
6	Technology system/subsystem model or prototype demonstration in a relevant environment.	Representative model or prototype system, which is well beyond the representation tested for TRL 5, is tested in a relevant environment. Represents a major step up in a technology’s demonstrated readiness. Examples include testing a prototype in a high fidelity laboratory environment or in simulated operational environment.
5	Technology component and/or basic sub-system validation in relevant environment.	Fidelity of sub-system representation increases significantly. The basic technological components are integrated with realistic supporting elements so that the technology can be tested in a simulated environment. Examples include “high fidelity” laboratory integration of components.
4	Technology component and/or basic technology sub-system validation in laboratory environment.	Basic technology components are integrated. This is relatively “low fidelity” compared to the eventual system. Examples include integration of “ad hoc” hardware in a laboratory.
3	Analytical and experimental critical function and/or characteristic proof-of-concept.	Analytical studies and laboratory studies to physically validate analytical predictions of separate elements of the technology are undertaken. Examples include components that are not yet integrated or representative.
2	Technology concept and/or application formulated.	Invention begins. Once basic principles are observed, practical applications can be postulated. The application is speculative and there is no proof or detailed analysis to support the assumptions. Examples are still limited to paper studies
1	Basic principles observed and reported.	Lowest level of technology readiness. Scientific research begins to be evaluated for military applications. Examples might include paper studies of a technology’s basic properties.
6. Why are you using TRLs not Manufacturing Readiness Levels (MRLs)?
A. Defence S&T contracting is based on Technology Readiness Levels. We recognise MRLs are a useful tool to mature materials development. For the purposes of this PIN advert, we would anticipate MRL 4 as being the closest equivalent to TRL 6. MRL 4 states ‘Required investments, such as manufacturing technology development identified. Processes to ensure manufacturability, producibility and quality are in place and are sufficient to produce technology demonstrators. Manufacturing risks identified for prototype build. Manufacturing cost drivers identified. Producibility assessments of design concepts have been completed. Key design performance parameters identified. Special needs identified for tooling, facilities, material handling and skills.’ Only the most promising and highest priority technologies would be accelerated to this level, with the majority of work focused at a maximum of MRL 3.

description: UK Parliament intends to contract with ExcelRedstone Converged Solutions Limited for the provision of a Distributed Antenna System as an extension to the existing Landlord system to service an office building occupied by the Contracting Authority consistent with its responsibilities under the lease.

title: Distributed Antenna System within Landlord Office Space in Central London

description: The provision of a Distributed Antenna System as an extension to the existing Landlord system within office space occupied by the Contracting Authority including the supply of equipment, detailed design, installation, testing, commissioning and Service and Support over a 3-year term.

description: Communications equipment

procurementMethodRationale:
UK Parliament has entered into a new lease for office accommodation in Central London.  The Landlord has an existing In-Building Cellular solution to support their own mobile communications which is capable of being extended for the accommodation UK Parliament is occupying.  The Landlord has supplied the digital Distributed Antenna System 'back-bone' (first-fix) infrastructure throughout the building as part of their CAT A works undertaken by the Landlord contracted to ISG.  ExcelRedstone Converged Solutions Limited completed this Distributed Antenna System as a subcontractor to ISG under this contract.  The Landlord has a contract with Avison Young as the Building Managing Agent who have also appointed ExcelRedstone Converged Solutions Limited for the maintenance of the existing Distributed Antenna System.
The proposed system within Landlord office space is an extension to the landlord system which is a different system to that the Authority usually operates.  The Landlord system already has connection to EE, O2 and Vodafone with capacity to support the number of subscribers on the floors occupied by the Authority.  Therefore, the proposed scope is an extension of the existing Landlord system as introducing a new system based on the Authority's existing system would mean a further requirement for new base stations from the mobile operators which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance together with the associated costs.  Accordingly, Regulation 32(5)(b) "the extension of existing supplies or installations where a change of supplier would oblige the contracting authority to acquire supplies having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance" is deemed to apply.

procurementMethodRationale: There is no alternative to the CUSA device. There are alternatives which operate in a different manner (e.g. Aquamantis, Harmonic) however none of these allow the precise dissection and ligation of critical liver structures such as biliary pedicles and hepatic veins. In addition, from my experience very few, if any liver surgeons would contemplate carrying out major liver resection without CUSA. The incidence if bile leak post liver resection with CUSA is low (happy to provide my figures) which significantly reduces post-operative morbidity, hospital stay and expenditure (e.g., ERCP). The use of CUSA ensure the safe use of liver surgery for patient at RMH.

description: Provision and support of a VLE for university students for a five year period commencing 1st July 2022

title: Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) Provision and Support

description: Educational software package

procurementMethodDetails: Negotiated without publication of a contract notice

procurementMethodRationale:
A previously published VEAT notice (2019-OJS 149-367112) stated an intention to enter an open procurement activity prior to the end of the current extended contract.  The impact of the COVID pandemic has prevented the University from being able to undertake this activity with enough time remaining to complete a procurement and an implementation activity without significant risk of project delay.
The University is currently undergoing an ambitious strategic change programme.  This is affecting all staff involved in teaching and learning activities and any significant changes to the enabling VLE platform are considered too disruptive at this time.  The University must have a solution to its current self-hosted BlackBoard infrastructure going out of support.  It is therefore the intention to migrate to BlackBoard's cloud hosted infrastructure without undertaking a competitive tender.
By not undertaking a competitive tender, the University will increase the lead time available to start implementation; thereby significantly reducing the risk of missing a critical summer migration deadline. Furthermore, there has been significant investment in process, staff skills and capabilities over the last 5 years that can be utilised, removing the need for organisation wide retraining and detailed process review.
The strategic change activities currently underway at the University are expected to take between 3 and 5 years to deliver and become embedded within the University.  The provision of a stable, well managed and understood VLE plays a significant role in enabling the success of these changes. The continuation of service throughout this 5 year period is therefore a critical success factor and any change to the VLE supplier during this period would neither be advantageous nor sustainable.  As a consequence, the University will be seeking a 5 year commitment during which time we will consider competitive options for a new, longer-term solution.
