II.2.4) Description of the procurement
UK MoD (the Authority) has a requirement for the provision and support of batteries to achieve an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) at several UK sites, to support the GUARDIAN UK Air Defence C2 System used by the RAF.
This will ensure the equipment meets the requirements of CAP 670: Air Traffic Services Safety Requirements and Def Stan 927: Military Air Traffic Services Equipment Safety and Performance Standards.
GUARDIAN offers a real-time map of friendly and hostile aircraft, connecting UK and NATO (NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY ORGANIZATION) radars and radios to co-ordinate communications between aircraft and the ground.
It allows the RAF to dispatch fighter jets to identify and intercept hostile aircraft, or those suspected of being a threat, and GUARDIAN also receives early warnings from NATO reporting centres to prepare the UK for incoming potential threats.
The contract will be for the provision and installation of 5 units across the UK, as well as maintenance support (including but not limited to repair/replacement and annual servicing). There is the potential need for additional UPS units at other sites, and therefore a framework arrangement will form part of the contract.
