The MoE rig supplier must be able to provide a frame and all the doors as described in the scope of work and supporting tender documentation, whilst remaining efficient and economical with the dimensions and size of the rig. This is to enable the user to fit the rig into the designated venue/building whilst maintaining sufficient space to work around it effectively. Viewing can be arranged within the first 10 days of the ITT being released, and dimensions of building can be provided.
For effective longevity and consistency in training, the rig will need to be long lasting. We would expect the mainframe to endure a 15-year period of use. Throughout its life it will need to withstand high force impacts from kinetic, hydraulic, pneumatic and fuel powered equipment. The Rig must achieve the ability to withstand any degradation and fatigue when used as specified.
