description:
HMRC is the UK’s tax, payments and customs authority. We collect the money that pays for the UK’s public services. Our strategic objectives to help us achieve this, and become a world-class organisation, are:
•Maximise Revenues and bear down on avoidance and evasion;
•Transform tax and payments for our customers; and
•Design and deliver a professional, efficient and engaged organisation.
Focussing on these objectives we want to use Payment Initiation Services to make it easy for our customers to pay us by bank transfer using a secure, simple and efficient process. Currently, our bank transfer journey is non-automated which can result in a high volume of customer errors which are resource intensive to rectify. By providing an innovative, well designed journey that can be populated with our numerous reference formats and HMRC bank accounts, with little effort from our customers, we believe we can encourage card payers to move to this more cost-effective method and subsequently reduce our payment associated costs significantly.
Account Information Services will enable us to access appropriate customers' transactional data to deliver enhanced and tailored financial services for HMRC. It is anticipated that the AISP service may be required at some stage during the contract term, as a result interested suppliers must be able to provide both PISP and AISP from the outset. Bidders must be registered and authorised by Financial Conduct Authority and certified by and enrolled with the Open Banking Implementation Entity (OBIE). The supplier will be expected to have connection to a high percentage of UK banks, at minimum the CMA9.
The service provider shall be able to:
cope with the HMRC's peaks throughout the year and increased volumes during the contract period;
implement delivery following Agile methods and within 6 weeks of award;
provide a customer service helpline (telephone service) to contact the Supplier directly, at any time.
The service provided shall be:
compatible and interchangeable with all mobile devices and operating systems and shall perform seamlessly with Buyer’s systems and / or applications;
available 24x7x365(366)
To participate please ensure you are registered at the link below as soon as possible at
http://hmrc.supplier-eu.ariba.com/ad/register/SSOActions?type=full. As part of the registration process you will receive a system generated email asking you to activate your SAP Ariba supplier account by verifying your email address.  Once you have completed the activation process you will receive a further email by return confirming the ‘registration process is now complete’ and providing you with ‘your organisation’s account ID’ number. If an email response from HMRC is not received within one working day of your request, please re-contact sapariba.hmrcsupport@hmrc.gov.uk (after first checking your spam in-box) notifying non-receipt and confirming when your registration request was first made. Once you have obtained ‘your organization’s account ID’ number, please email ranjana.kapur@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk and e.procurement@hmrc.gov.uk before the closing date with your account ID number.
Once you have complied with the foregoing you will receive an e-mail confirming access to the procurement event.

NGN had a contract with Brand Communications, which expired on the 31st of August 2021.
Brand Communications Apollo is used on all NGN laptops, tablets and system control PCs,to enable secure remote access to NGN's IT systems. This enables wide scale home-working during the COVID-19 pandemic and supports secure day to day operations for NGN's field force and system control. Brand is also an essential service to secure data flows from our Gas Offtake sites back to System Control. 3iG are currently running a comprehensive programme to replace old Arqiva technology with Brand software which has given NGNmore security and reliability.This software is a critical part of our IT infrastructure and would be a multi-million pound investment to replace, procure and swap out all devices if Brand was replaced. The current COVID-19 lockdown restrictions would also create a longer-term programme of works of face-to-face interactions between the IT support team and 1000+ end user devices. There is a need to renew the contract to save NGN time and money that has been spent on building our current infrastructure to replace this with a new solution.

description: Contract monitoring: the successful contractor’s performance on the contract will be regularly monitored. Contractors not delivering on contract requirements is a serious matter. It means the public purse is not getting what it is paying for. If a contractor fails to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance they will be given a specified time to improve. If, after the specified time, they still fail to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance, the matter will be escalated to senior management in Construction and Procurement Delivery (CPD) for further action. If this occurs and their performance still does not improve to satisfactory levels within the specified period, it may be regarded as an act of grave professional misconduct and they may be issued with a certificate of unsatisfactory performance and the contract may be terminated. If a Contractor is subject to a Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance the CPD, at its discretion, can consider the Contractor’s exclusion from future procurement competitions, being undertaken on behalf of bodies covered by the Northern Ireland Public Procurement Policy, for a period of 3 years.

description:
The Young Person's Substance Misuse Service engages vulnerable young people and intervenes early to avoid or limit escalating risk and harm from substance misuse. The objective of the service is to support sustained recovery by supporting young people, from entrance into the service to re-integration back into the wider community or adult services.
1.3 	This service will operate within the context and expectations outlined in the National Drug Strategy (2017). With regards to young people, the strategy is clear that a targeted approach with specialist services are needed for those most at risk of misusing drugs and to tackle the threats of new types of drug misuse. In brief, the aim of the Strategy is to support people to live a drug free life through a whole-life approach to preventing and reducing the demand for drugs that will lead to the following outcomes:
1)	Reduce Demand - action to prevent the onset of drug use, and its escalation at all ages, through universal action combined with more targeted action for the most vulnerable. This includes placing a greater emphasis on building resilience and confidence among our young people to prevent the range of risks they face (e.g. drug and alcohol misuse, crime, exploitation, unhealthy relationships).
2)	Restrict Supply - taking a smarter approach to restricting the supply of drugs: adapting our approach to reflect changes in criminal activity; using innovative data and technology; taking coordinated partnership action to tackle drugs alongside other criminal activity.
3)	Build Recovery - improving both treatment quality and outcomes for different user groups; ensuring the right interventions are given to people according to their needs; and facilitating the delivery of an enhanced joined-up approach to commissioning and the wide range of services that are essential to supporting every individual to live a life free from drugs.
4)	Global Action - taking a leading role in driving international action, spearheading new initiatives e.g. on new psychoactive substances, sharing best practice and promoting an evidence-based approach to preventing drug harms.
1.4	With regards to a local context, Havering is the third largest London borough, covering some 43 square miles. It is located on the northeast boundary of Greater London. To the north and east the Borough is bordered by the Essex countryside, to the south by a three mile River Thames frontage, and to the west by the neighbouring boroughs of Redbridge and Barking & Dagenham. The general population of the Borough has increased year on year since 2002, with a 13.7% increase from 2002 to 2017. Looking ahead, it is projected that the largest increases in population will occur in children (0-17 years) and older people age groups (65 years and above) up to 2033.

UK Biocentre’s laboratories in Milton Keynes are being used to analyse swab samples to support the national effort against the coronavirus pandemic. They are one of the three Lighthouse Labs – the biggest network of diagnostic testing facilities the UK has ever seen.
Operations have expanded rapidly to analyse swab samples to determine whether COVID-19 is present, and capacity requirements are continuing to increase over time . We have repurposed existing laboratories and built new ones to provide the capacity required for such a significant undertaking.
In order to achieve this level of testing. new temporary staff have been recruited, and this is expected to continue as the need for staff increases as capacity increases. To allow these staff to work at Biocentre laboratories in Milton Keynes on this project, UK Biocentre requires the provision of hotel accommodation.

UK Biocentre reserves the right to discontinue or delay the procurement process and may decide not to award a contract as a result of this call for competition. UK Biocentre shall not be liable for any costs or expenses incurred by any bidder in considering and/or responding to the procurement process. Tenders and supporting documents must be priced in pounds sterling and all payments made under the contract will be in pounds sterling, unless otherwise advised.
Any volume of hotel rooms referred to within this Contract Notice and/or the procurement documents is indicative only and there is no guarantee or warranty of any hotel room volumes, particularly given that the position in relation to Covid-19 testing, and the Government’s response to it, continues to evolve. The service will need to be flexible to support UK Biocentre in its testing activities.
The estimated contract value for the initial period of 6 months may be in the region of 1,000,000 GBP to 1,250,000 GBP but the value may vary (and therefore may be lower or higher than this range) given that we cannot currently accurately predict Covid-19 activity and, consequently, the volume of hotel rooms required.  As such, it is not possible to provide an overall maximum estimated value for the contract given the evolving nature of the Covid-19 pandemic and whether the contract will be extended up to the maximum 1 year period. However, based on the initial 6 month period highlighted above and whilst recognising the value may vary, the overall maximum value could be in the region of 2 – 2.5 million GBP
(MT Ref:222281)

South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SCAS) is seeking to procure a fully supplier hosted, managed and onward going developed, Software as a Service provided Workforce Management Software System for use by all UK Ambulance Trusts.
All UK Ambulance Trusts currently use GRS and there is a desire to seek a solution which will provide a total workforce management solution, incorporating the functionality currently provided by other interdependent systems.
SCAS, as lead Contracting Authority, is seeking to appoint a Supplier by 6th April 2021 who will be responsible for developing an all-encompassing system suitable for use by all Ambulance Trusts for a go live date for SCAS, and potentially at least two other Ambulance Trusts, of 1st April 2022.
Please see the following link for details of all the Ambulance Trusts who may draw down on the contract:
https://aace.org.uk/uk-ambulance-service/map-of-nhs-ambulance-services/
The Authority seeks bids from organisations which can demonstrate experience of providing a complex Workforce Management Software System for use with a wide range of different personnel and who, whether or not they currently provide services to the NHS, can demonstrate:
i)	a clear understanding and appreciation of:
•	the complexities of the NHS;
•	the Agenda for Change;
•	NHS Terms and Conditions;
•	The substantial range and complexity of the personnel employed and the differing terms under which they are employed;
•	The interplay within the NHS marketplace and the interaction between the Department of Health, NHSE, NHSI, Clinical Commissioning Group and many other groups.
ii)	High levels of competency in developing and continually updating a system to deliver 100% accurate information in terms of hours worked by differing personnel;
iii)	The ability to ensure effective, live and accurate integration between hours worked and the Authority’s payroll system.
iv)	Proven methodology for delivering the changing needs of an NHS body which employs a wide range of different personnel needing to take account of the Working Time Regulations and the interplay between annual leave, absence, TOIL, overtime, rostering and self-rostering.
v)	The expertise to delivery effective and accurate integration with and data feed from the worked hours data to the Trust’s Payroll provider system.
SCAS intend letting a contract for up to 10 years (an initial 5 years from the point of award on 6th April 2021 and then four years from go live on 1st April 2022 with the option thereafter to extend by multiples of one year up to a further five years).
Other Ambulance Trusts would have the option of drawing down on the ensuing contract during its lifetime with the intention of a co-terminus date for all those Trusts utilising the contract opportunity.
SCAS intends that the contract will involve a proactive Ambulance user group who will agree on the development pathway for each following year in conjunction with the Supplier for the benefit of all participating Trusts and, ultimately, the Trust’s patients.
The system purchased by SCAS will also be made available to Isle of Wight NHS Trust as part of a co-operation set up between the two public bodies under Regulation 12(7). The procurement of this third-party supplier via a fully compliant OJEU process means that no private supplier has been placed "at an advantage vis-à-vis its competitors.”
At this stage there is no definite commitment from the other Ambulance Trusts to draw down under the Contract being let by SCAS, but a number of Trusts have expressed direct interest with at least one other Trust with a current Contract that is due to expire on 31 March 2022, enabling them to utilise the Contract scheduled to start on 1 April 2022.
The estimated value is based upon all thirteen Ambulance Trusts drawing down on the ensuing contract. Additional information: Suppliers instructions in how to express an interest in the tender:

The Retail service is a critical operational function within the prison estate where by prisoners can supplement their daily provisions by purchasing items using their own cash. The contract provides a range of products from foodstuffs to toiletries which are picked and packed at several workshops located within prisons. The workshops pick c.66,000 orders per week and provide employment places for approximately 520 prisoners daily, who are supported by the supplier by providing guidance, support and training. By employing prisoners, the service provides a key tool in maintaining prison order through productive labour but also supports one of HMPPS’ and MoJ’s key strategic objectives of rehabilitating prisoners as they have an opportunity to learn vocational skills and gain real-world job experience that can be used to gain employment on release.
The service aims to deliver orders in a timely, efficient manner while
ensuring that prison security policies (national or local) are never contravened.
Financially a key aim of the service is that it is self-financing and that the service overheads are covered through the cost of sales. The service must not exploit the customer (prisoner) population and instead should be an opportunity both to play a key role in the operation of a prison environment and providing opportunities for re-skilling and resettlement on release (e.g. job interviews, offers of work).

rationale: Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: This notice relates to modifications brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not foresee (Article 72(1)(c)/Regulation 72(1)(c)) relating to the Covid-19 pandemic.

description:
This notice relates to a modification to the end date of the existing contract by way of an extension of a period of twelve (12) months such that the end date has been amended to 31July 2022.
The successful go live of the next generation contract by 31st July 2021 is no longer achievable due to the negative impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. There have been both direct and indirect impact on resources to both the core project team and key stakeholders and the market for the provision of food and personal items, which is under huge operational pressure responding to the impacts of the pandemic and would be likely to struggle to bid for the contract at this time. Any new supplier would potentially also struggle to guarantee continuation of service. With the ability to deliver the project to the timescales required now impossible the primary object becomes to ensure a continuity of service, thereby safeguarding the stability of our prisons and safety of prisoners and prison staff. Procurement process are underway for the retender of this service.
The Authority considers the modification(s) of the contract without prior publication of a contract notice is permitted by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and Directive 2014/24/EU. The contract has been modified in accordance with Regulations 72(1)(c) and/or (e)/Articles 72(1)(c) and/or (e) and accordingly does not, in the Authority’s view, amount to the award of a new contract and/or an unlawful substantial change. This is on the basis of the following:
- The modification has been brought about by the circumstances of the Covid-19 pandemic which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen. As has been recognised by the European Commission (2020/C 108 I/01 refers), the Covid-19 crisis is an event which could not have been foreseen nor planned for in advance by the Authority.
- the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract and only extends the term of the contract.
- The increase in price as a result of the modification, [£64,290,000], does not exceed 50% of the value of the original Contract [£500,000,000].
- The modification is also considered by the Authority not to be substantial within the meaning of Regulation 72(8).
The contract was previously modified in 2019 where the contract end date was extended by a period of twenty-eight (28) months under Regulation 72(1)(e) on the grounds that the modification was considered by the Authority not to be substantial within the meaning of Regulation 72(8).

In line with National indications the procurement will be in four lots in two main headings:
Heading 1 – Specialist Services – Must be CQC Registered and Inspected:
H 1: Lot 4: Tender 1: Qualified Crew ambulance
A service, to deliver sub-999 transfers, Inter-Facility Transfers (IFT) both local and long-distance e.g, a cardiac inpatient in a Devon hospital transferred to a London Acute as part of a planned pathway of treatment. This will run a core service of 7-days a week nominally 10am to 8pm with higher levels of capacity midweek than skeleton cover at the weekend. Some journeys may need to vary the core hours. Qualified to cover FREC 4 – Paramedic.
H 1: Lot 4: Tender 2: NEPTS-PLUS service,
A new concept of NEPTS based on a cohort of patients that require more than standard NEPTS. The specification is for an enhanced level of equipment on board the vehicle and enhanced training to utilise the equipment to manage:
	Specialist manual handling including:
o	 Bariatric and access to Super-Bariatric equipment
o	Complex manual handling e.g. extraction from difficult access when “off-legs” for access to healthcare.
	Higher levels of oxygen usage without clinical input e.g. acute discharge on 15 ltrs going to home or hospice.
	Management of patients requiring a NEW-Score transferring
	Basic Management of airways
Crews do not need to be formally qualified but will require a bespoke level of certification to use the equipment on the vehicle. As a new model of delivery, the NHS Devon and Devon County Council will work with bidders in the development of this, within an agreed timescale.
H 1: Lot 4: Tender 3: Mainstream NEPTS – Stretcher/Wheelchair, A standard Mainstream NEPTS service taking patients who require simple manual handling, e.g. movement from a wheelchair to a carry-chair for access up or down stairs and then back into a wheelchair. This service will also take complex dementia, with passengers who may exhibit disinhibited or aggressive behaviour
Heading 2: Non-Specialist Services – No need/Optional for CGC registration/inspection:
H 2: Option of Lots 1, 2 and 4: Tender 1: Mobility and Support Transport: this lot will cover a wide range of vehicle types including multi-seat vehicles Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (WAV), and cars. Generally, two-person crews, but not always, this service will be for users who:
	Are living with a disability but temporarily unable to use their normal disability adapted vehicle.
	Have a cognitive problem e.g. low-level non-complex dementia, that makes it unsafe to travel on public transport.
	Are unable to complete the whole journey by public transport due to issues of timings or distance. In some cases, it will not be the entire replacement journey but linking in with Public Transport hubs to facilitate use of public transport.
	Frequent attenders to services.
Bidders for the Mobility & Support service can choose to bid for contract journeys 7 days a week for:
	All of Devon
	or for specified geographical areas based on existing District Council boundaries e.g. Torridge or East Devon
Bidders can also choose to remain on the DPS as ad-hoc providers bidding for small blocks of work
Procurement for lots under Heading 1 will be for 5 year plus 4 year extension contract. H2: Tender 1 will be let on shorter contracts.  Full specifications and details of the Quality schedule will be posted on the Dynamic Procurement System. Contact Devon County Council for further details (transportcoordinationservicetransporttenders-mailbox@devon.gov.uk or 01392 383000 - this is an automated phone system, please ask for Tim Hamblin).
It is expected that successful bidders will show how they can work with Commissioners to manage:
	The development of low-carbon and zero-carbon development in Heading 2 and the potential for Carbon-Offset in Heading 1, as no low-carbon ambulance models exist.
	Development of winter and inclement weather solutions to maintain services whilst appropriately responding to Highways and Police advice.
	Further developments in transport as part of:
o	The national consultation
o	The development of the NHS Devon partnership with Devon County Council and developing improvements in local transport, for example through the Government’s National Bus Strategy, Bus Back Better

As a result of the national review, NHS England has started a consultation on Patient Eligibility and NEPTS: b0712-consultation-on-eligibility-criteria-for-non-emergency-patient-transport.pdf (england.nhs.uk) The outcome of the review and the phasing-in of the final policy will be during 2022/2023.
Reflecting the above NHS Devon and Devon County Council will be re-procuring NEPTS contracts to implement a new service effective from 29th May 2022. The new model will be based on the interim review report and consultation.This means:
	Delivering a new model of types of transport
	The potential for changes as a result of the current national consultation delivering a different outcome than the indicative report.
This procurement will take place through the Dynamic Procurement System (DPS) managed by Devon County Council.

label: Estimated Total Value

description: Please access the tender through Procontract, by searching for DN517038 - Sexual Health and Reproductive Services. Tender documents can be freely accessed and downloaded from here. If you experience any difficulties accessing, please contact Procontract helpdesk services in the first instance. Liverpool City Council is seeking a system leader to manage and develop the sexual & reproductive health system across the city, forging critical partnerships with other trusts and organisations, charitable sector organisations and our local population in order to truly improve patient care, pathways and outcomes city-wide. The Council will be actively procuring a new integrated sexual & reproductive health service during 2021. A pre-launch bidder event was held to provide information related to how the residents of Liverpool would like to receive their services. We provided potential bidders with information about the procurement process and what will be required (eg. Model sought, scope of services, the ask) and provided indicative timelines - all this information, updated and final, is in this tender document. This requirement recognises the need for the provider and Liverpool City Council (LCC) to work together to shape the service based on sexual health needs assessment to identify the needs of specific populations within the city. This will include those groups where the burden of sexual ill health is recognised to be greater, but also particularly vulnerable groups, those with protected characteristics and others. The provider must recognise the need to be responsive to changing needs and emerging trends within Liverpool – this may include emerging infections, new technologies, changing population profile, and/or changing behaviours. The service is required to be provided across the city in a range of settings by a multi –disciplinary team of clinical and non-clinical professionals.

Throughout 2019/20 key services provided by NHS Confederation included:
1. Support with European office and memberships with the International Hospital Federation (IHF), and the HOPE Network;
2. Creating and delivering a newly-appointed Chief Executives' development programme;
3. Delivery of both the Equality and Diversity Council and development of the Confederation's EDI programme;
4. Establishment and support of Integrated Care System (ICS) networks;
To support implementation of the Long Term Plan, there is a need to continue the above programme of work, whilst broadening the scope for 2021/22 and 2022/23.
The NHS Confederation will work in partnership with the relevant NHS England and NHS Improvement teams to deliver a package of services intended to achieve the priorities set out in the Long Term Plan; transferring skills and knowledge throughout the course of delivery. These skills will equip staff to successfully influence changes across the health system through a robust evidence base.Which will include:
1. Continued operation of the NHS European Office, along with membership of professional's bodies HOPE and the International Health Federation. NHS Confederation have well established relationships with the EU office and use these to ensure that the Healthcare sector as a whole is adequately represented. NHS Confederation's European office has the specialist expertise to influence relevant EU policy and legislation, to ensure it is relevant to NHS interests in a post-Brexit world.
2. Continued operation and support of Primary Care Networks (PCNs) Voice. The NHS Confederation is the recognised membership body that brings together and speaks on behalf of all organisations that plan, commission and provide NHS services - it is therefore uniquely positioned to provide a collective voice for the newly-introduced PCNs.
3. Continued delivery of the Clinical Commissioners work programme. As the only CCG membership voice organisation, NHSCC will continue to offer support for areas of work where scale is important (medicines optimisation, EBI, clinical thresholds) and will offer significant support to CCGs and ICSs in terms of the transformation of commissioning functions and preparation for a new statutory framework.
4. Continued delivery of Chief Executives' development programme. The Confederation will continue to run this highly successful programme, working closely with NHS England and NHS Improvement, ensuring that new CEs are equipped for their leadership roles in the new system. This includes: delivering a series of learning and support programmes for newly appointed chief executives
5. Continuing to establish regional networks to support the move towards more integrated, place-based ways of working across health and care. The NHS Confederation is uniquely positioned to support NHS England and NHS Improvement to progress the development of ICSs through their established networks and regional teams, and to establish a central co-ordination team - using its ability to engage specific stakeholder groups, vital to the successful implementation of ICSs. Taking a national and local approach means that NHS Confederation acts as a conduit between national policy makers and local systems, facilitating delivery of the Long Term Plan.
6. Continued provision of Equality and Diversity support. There is a renewed focus within the NHS on how to make sure there is equality and equity of opportunity and experience among its entire diverse workforce. The Confederation will take forward a programme of work led by system leaders to encourage improved EDI practice to meet NHS Long Term Plan and People Plan outcomes, with significant emphasis on EDI as a service improvement discipline.

Your response to the product questionnaire will be carefully evaluated. Your product will be eligible for the next phase of testing (Factory Tests) if it meets our maturity requirements and is clearly within the scope described above. A full set of guidance and testing criteria are provided on the UK C-sUAS Defence Portal.
The RIC maintains a register of potential C-sUAS suppliers. All potential suppliers registered with the RIC will receive access to the UK C-sUAS Defence Portal. The online product questionnaire will be hosted on the UK C-sUAS Defence Portal and is the only way to apply for testing with the RIC.
Please use the following web address to register with the RIC: https://uascdc.com/industry/open-supplier-register.aspx
This PIN does not constitute the start of any procurement activity or resultant contract - it is for information only, to advise industry on the next stage of the trials programme and where further information can be sought. A questionnaire is completed at your own risk and, if successful, does not automatically enter you into the next phase. At the RIC’s discretion, the Test Programme is subject to change.

title: Applications are invited for the assessment of C-sUAS (Counter-Drone) Soldier-Carried Systems by the UK MoD RIC

description:
The misuse of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) represents a significant and growing risk to operations and day-to-day Defence activity both in the UK and overseas.
The Rapid Innovation Cell (RIC), endorsed by the Military Capability Board, has been established as part of the UAS Capability Development Centre (UASCDC) to test and evaluate (T&E) mature C-sUAS capabilities and generate a managed Defence database of available capabilities. Through a regular programme of T&E events, the RIC will establish the efficacy of commercially available capabilities. It will also increase broader awareness of the C-sUAS market and support a more agile method of delivering capability to the front line.
To prevent capability gaps and ensure interoperability, it is intended that Defence C-sUAS systems will use the ‘SAPIENT’ open architecture. This will also ensure that our systems can evolve at the component level enabling the spiral development of capability.
RIC Test Cycle #3
The RIC has established a series of Test Cycles. Each Test Cycle will focus on a particular subset of C-sUAS systems. Test Cycles are scheduled for every six months, nominally in the spring and autumn of each year.
Suppliers of mature C-sUAS Soldier Carried Systems are invited to apply to have their product’s performance assessed by the RIC. To apply you must complete an online questionnaire for your product. The product questionnaire will be available from 11:00am Monday 12th July, 2021, and responses must be fully completed and submitted by 11:00am Monday 9th August, 2021. Please complete a separate product questionnaire for each product that you wish to put forward for assessment.
Test Cycle #3, will focus on mature C-sUAS products that conform to the following scope:
1.	The total weight of the product must be <6kg and must be capable of being operated whilst being carried by a single soldier (i.e. body-worn; handheld; and/or back-pack mounted). Suppliers of products having a total weight between 6-10kg may complete an application, however, these heavier products will only be tested if we have spare test slots available.
2.	The product must have capability against both Fixed Wing and Rotary Wing sUAS.
3.	The product may use any detection/mitigation technologies, provided they are safe for the soldier to carry and operate whilst being carried.
4.	The product must be fully design certified, having a maturity that is ready for operational deployment with UK armed forces.
5.	The product must provide at least one of the following capabilities:
a.	A sUAS detection system that automatically alerts the soldier when a sUAS is active, whilst the soldier is dismounted and moving
b.	A sUAS mitigation system that can mitigate sUAS operations whilst the soldier is dismounted and moving; and/or dismounted and within 5s of coming to a stop (the system must be operated whilst being carried; i.e. tripods and other mounts are not within scope).
