Project KARKINOS ADEWS/099

Tender description

Contractor Logistic Support (all lines of maintenance) of Air Defence Radars Lot 1: The land based Air Defence Radar Fleet provides long-range surveillance of UK airspace, through detection of cooperating and non-cooperating targets and reporting of that data to provide situational awareness and enable decision making such as Quick Reaction Alert (QRA). Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) is delivered from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and current CLS provider, Lockheed-Martin Overseas Corporation (LMOC). The existing contract is due to expire on 31 July 22. 1st to 2nd line support is currently provided by the Royal Air Force (RAF) Trade Group 4 (TG4). Due to the ever-increasing demands across Defence, TG4 is recognised as an opportunity to reduce legacy regular demand on the RAF to enable reinvestment into other growth areas and therefore the requirement arises to provide CLS support for all lines of maintenance. The requirement is for a 5-year contract at a value of between £32000000 and £52000000 to provide all levels of maintenance to certain land-based Air Defence surveillance radars to include remote site manager duties.
