The purpose of this RFI is to seek information from the market. Specifically, this RFI is providing potential suppliers the opportunity to comment on the development of our strategy around the following aspects: - Introduce the Armoured Vehicle Structural Integrity Management project to industry; - Communicate our supply market engagement approach and plans; - Ascertain interest and gather general information to help inform the format of a potential initial industry event, and enable the selection of organisations to attend the event; - Survey the market for views to help inform a future commercial strategy for Armoured Vehicle Structural Integrity Management (AVSIM). If your company is interested in responding to this RFI, please refer to the Context Document and Questionnaire attached to the Opportunity Notice for further details.

Please submit all responses via the DSP (Defence Sourcing Portal) or via email to Daniel.Morris168@mod.gov.uk and Isabelle.Hart100@mod.gov.uk. For the avoidance of doubt, this RFI does not constitute a commitment to launch a formal procurement procedure. Any comments, indications of interest, participation, or non-participation by any organisation at this stage will not influence the process, selection and/or award decision for any future possible procurement, nor will it be taken as a supplier's committed position. Non-participation in this pre-market engagement will not be taken into account in any related future procurement.
