Description

This is an Opportunity Notice for the High G Test and Training Service Contract (710340458). This notice invites suppliers to register an interest and complete the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) for this project via the Defence Sourcing Portal. The High G Test & Training Facility (HGTTF) provides critical High G training for fast jet aircrew as mandated by NATO standardisation agreement (STANAG's) and Military Aviation Authority (MAA) Regulatory Articles in a safe environment. It also has the capability to carry out testing and research. The HGTTF provides G force training under RAF Centre of Aerospace Medicine (RAF CAM) control for a range of training conditions. Operational Aircrew (Refresher), new military Aircrew and specialist staff are taught to cope with forces of up to +9Gz, nine times normal gravity whilst controlling their aircraft as they would do in a flight simulator. RAF CAM staff train aircrew to recognise the effects of G-force and develop techniques to counteract these effects, in a safe and controlled realistic environment. By developing pilots' abilities to withstand high G-force on the ground, under realistic flying conditions, the HGTTF significantly enhances safety in the air. The HGTTF is also used to conduct testing for the effects of G-force on equipment intended to be used in Aircraft where high G force may be applied. The Authority requires the following: a. Management and equipment maintenance of the High G Centrifuge. b. Provision of Co-ordinating Design Organisation engineering services via the support and management of the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) / Design Authority (DA), to enable safe delivery of the test and training capability. c.

Management of Security and Information Assurance in accordance with UK Government policies and guidance. g. Provision of Integrated Logistics Support including the management of Authority issued GFA; Spares which may be subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR); Management or support of a third-party supply system; maintenance of Aircrew Equipment Assemblies (AEA). Cyber Security: For the purposes of Cyber Security this requirement has been assessed with a Cyber Risk Profile: Low. The Risk Assessment Reference is RAR-240319A09. The Authority's intention is to place a contract that will have a duration of up to 10 years, which will be comprised of 8 core years, with the addition of two 12-month optional periods.
