What is being bought

Published requirement description

SWIMMR is a four-year programme under UKRI SPF Wave 2 to develop and deploy new instruments and models to support the UK space weather community and national capabilities in MOSWOC. It directly addresses priorities identified by BEIS, MoD and DfT. It is aimed at improving forecasting predictions and establishing a legacy of enhanced operational capabilities.

The purpose of this particular procurement, which is just one part of SWIMMR, is to define the work required from a Supplier to provide Radiation Monitoring units for use in Aircraft and Balloons and associated operations support activities.

The scope is limited to the 3 main parts: Development State of Work, Operations Support and Technical Specification.

UKRI, the Contracting Authority, is looking to procure the requirements as laid out in the tender documentation held in the stated e-Sourcing portal.

Potential Bidders review the tender documentation for the full scope of work and requirements, these are held within the Delta eSourcing portal referenced within this notice.

The estimated value of the opportunity is: £255,000.00 to £340,000.00 GBP excluding VAT, (Firm Fixed Price) for the core requirement. The optional purchases are estimated at £300,000.00 to 410,000.00 GBP excluding VAT. Therefore, a maximum potential spend of up to £750,000.00 GBP excluding VAT may be placed through this contract.

There is a price cap for the core requirement, therefore bids cannot exceed £340,000.00 GBP excluding VAT. Bids received that exceed this value shall be deemed non-compliant and shall not be considered. This cap value is not including any options that may be purchased and is for the core requirement only.
