The MOD is currently developing its procurement strategy for this requirement and has initially sought views from industry via a Prior Information Notice (PIN) published in the Defence Contracts Bulletin (18th December 2015). This advert has also been placed in the Defence Contracts online. You must not take this announcement to mean confirmation that the MOD shall award a contract for this requirement. The MOD is publishing this announcement without any commitment to issue an invitation to tender or place a contract. Accordingly, any expenditure, work or effort undertaken prior to contract award is a matter solely for the commercial judgement of potential suppliers. Announcements may also be published on Defence Contracts Online, Contracts Finder or the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU), as appropriate.
