Land Environment Future Support Programme

Tender description

Land Environment Future Support for Armoured Vehicles. The Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) Vehicle Support (VS) Future Support Team (FST) is considering a fresh approach on the contracted support model that it uses to undertake support for the current portfolio of tracked and wheeled equipment's, including all future vehicles entering the portfolio, such as but not exclusively, AJAX, BOXER, Warrior CSP and Challenger 2 LEP. This programme is currently within the pre-concept phase and the FST would like to inform the market of its intentions. Previously in March 2019 the team released a Request For Information (RFI) to the marketplace, this Prior Information Notice (PIN) supersedes this. The contracted support model may include Post Design Services (PDS), Spares, Repairs, Embodiment, Manufacture across the full fleet of Armoured vehicles. This PIN has been issued to inform the market early; FST intends to hold industry day(s) to enhance and refine its strategy and will publish notice of these days to allow all participants to engage. This PIN is not a means to seek formal expressions of interest; that opportunity may become available in the future through a contract notice published on Defence Contracts Online and the Official Journal of the European Union.
