Parts Creation Framework (PCF)

Tender description

The Ministry of Defence’s (MoD) DE&S Delivery Teams have a large number of parts demanded by Front Line Commands (FLC) for which a supply solution cannot be found for a number of reasons including obsolescence and unforeseen global events. Defence Support Major Programmes within Strategic Command has identified that a more agile and flexible approach to the commercial marketplace is required to mitigate and respond quickly to such challenges. The Parts Creation Framework (PCF) shall be an enabling framework and associated eco-system providing an alternative and timely route for the supply of parts utilising Advance Manufacturing techniques across the entirety of the MoD. This is a new requirement to leverage the innovative manufacturing capabilities of present and future Industrial Partners, and to initiate this the MoD shall be carrying out engagement with Industry. In collaboration with the Manufacturing Technology Centre, an Industry Engagement session shall take place on 14th November 2023.
