Publisher note: Security during the PQQ Procedure During the PQQ procedure, the level of classification of the information or material that will need to be protected, processed, stored or transmitted by suppliers will be a maximum of Official Sensitive. Security during the Tendering Procedure During the invitation to negotiate procedure, the level of classification of the information or material that will need to be protected, processed, stored or transmitted by the Authority to Tenderers will be a maximum of UK Secret. To enable the Authority to transmit UK Secret information or material to a Tenderer, suppliers will need to advise the Authority of their designated List X Facility, or one that holds an equivalent Facility Security Clearance (FSC) status. In addition, prior to receiving tender documentation, Tenderers will need to provide evidence that they have the personnel with the necessary security clearance to protect, process, store and transmit information or material with a maximum classification of UK Secret. Should the Authority determine that there is insufficient evidence that the Supplier has met the facility security and/or personnel security conditions the supplier will be unable to participate in the invitation to negotiate exercise. Security during the Performance of the Contract Prior to the deployment of the FTUAS System, the level of classification of the information or material that will need to be protected, processed, stored or transmitted by the Contractor will be a maximum level of UK Secret. Air Vehicle - Once the FTUAS System has been deployed, the maximum level of classification of the information or material with regards to the air vehicle that will need to be protected, processed, stored or transmitted during periods of support provided by the Contractor will be a maximum of UK SECRET. Ground Control Station (GCS) – Once the FTUAS GCS has been deployed, the maximum level of classification of the information or material with regards to the GCS that will need to be protected, processed, stored or transmitted during periods of activities of support provided by the Contractor will be a maximum of SECRET UK EYES ONLY (SUKEO). Field Service Representatives (FSRs) / embarked Trainers – Once the FTUAS System has been deployed, the maximum level of classification of the information or material that will need to be protected, processed, stored or transmitted during the conduct of the services by Contractor’s FSRs / embarked trainers will be a maximum of Secret UK Eyes Only. As such, the ability to provide appropriately security cleared personnel will be assessed as part of the ITN, and then within a reasonable time after contract award, the Contractor will need to provide details to the Authority of its deployable personnel with the necessary security clearance to protect, process, store and transmit information or material with a maximum classification of SECRET UK EYES ONLY (SUKEO). This is used to designate classified assets to UK national interests and cannot be shared with overseas contractor’s personnel.
