3. Contract Type:
4. Description: Specialist Explosive Ordnance Disposal & Search, Exploitation & Countermeasures (SEEC) Delivery Team (DT) are considering initiating a programme of projects to procure a suite of handheld detectors, providing the backbone for specialist and intermediate search users in Defence.

The MOD requires a suite of ground search detectors to provide the following:
Project 1: Handheld Metal, Non-Metal Detector:
A single handheld detector to provide a crush wire, low metal, no metal and metal detect capability (est. Qty 800)
Project 2: Handheld Complex Terrain Metal Detector:
A single handheld detector to provide a complex terrain pinpoint metal detect capability (est. Qty 800)

The Authority will be purchasing Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) detectors to equip Advanced and Intermediate Search Teams across Defence. Each requirement will also include an in-service package which may include but not limited to spares provision, repairs, technical expertise, servicing, safety and environmental management, obsolescence management, configuration control and technical support.

It is expected that the Future Ground Search programme will be split into four individual projects (two specifically noted in this PIN with the future two in a separate PIN expected in the near future), with each project having its own schedule. Each project is expected to have a minimum of a ten-year in-service life expectancy from date of manufacture and should remain supportable for that period.

Each contract is expected to have a duration of five years with options to extend by an additional two years. The estimated value of the two projects in its totality is approximately £45m. (Project 1: est £35m, Project 2: est £10m)
