Description

The purpose of this Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to inform potential suppliers that an upcoming procurement exercise will be conducted by Raytheon UK for the Provision of a Ship Control Trainer (SCT). Raytheon UK is planning to issue a full two-stage Tender by 1st June 2023 and intends to hold two Bidder Briefing Events on 16th May 2023 and 17th May 2023 - which will be held online via Microsoft Teams. The first session will be an open event to provide Bidders with an introduction and overview of the procurement and the second session is for one-to-one sessions with potential Bidders. Any relevant information shared within one-to-one sessions will be anonymised and shared with other Bidders to ensure a fair and transparent process. Interested parties are requested to express their interest by no later than 5pm, Friday 5th May 2023 to participate in the briefing sessions by emailing: molly.coburn@raytheon.co.uk. Summary of Services: The SCT is a high-fidelity simulated training environment used to provide ship control Individual and Team Training. It allows for multiple trainees to be trained simultaneously across different onboard duties. Trainees will interact with and manipulate multiple engineering solutions represented on a fully dynamic representation and high-fidelity simulated training environment that mirrors the Ship Control positions in the vessel's main command and control room. The full motion high-fidelity simulated training environment will incorporate a 6 degrees of freedom platform.
