Engagement process description
This Request for Information (RFI) forms part of the Medium Range Precision Strike (MRPS) Preliminary Market Engagement. Its aim is to give potential suppliers the opportunity to comment on the proposed requirement and the various strategies which will inform this.
In issuing this RFI, the MOD is not committing to launch any procurement in relation to the requirement, and it reserves the right to alter its approach to this project prior to commencing any formal procurement process.
The information contained in this RFI and any further information (whether written, electronic, or oral) supplied by the MOD in respect of this RFI is, and will be, supplied on the condition that the MOD will not be held liable for any error, omission or inaccuracy therein nor for any loss or damage sustained by any party arising as a result of reliance on such information or any subsequent communication, including any error, inaccuracy or omission resulting from any negligent act or omission of the MOD or any other person (other than in respect of fraudulent misrepresentation). No party accepts any responsibility or gives any undertaking to provide further information, including any information required to correct any earlier inaccuracy or error.
Any information submitted will be considered only for the purposes of building an understanding of the markets ability to undertake the MRPS project. No information provided will be carried forward, used, or acknowledged for the purpose of evaluating and must be re-submitted as part of the formal procurement process. Information specific to a potential supplier provided through this process will not be shared nor distributed to other suppliers but may inform discussions that the MOD will have with the market and may subsequently be used to inform the terms on which a formal procurement process is conducted. The Authority will assess responses to the RFI and reserve the right to seek clarification and/or additional documents in respect of responses where necessary.
Any participation in the Preliminary Market Engagement and any response to this RFI is entirely at potential suppliers’ own cost and risk. The MOD shall not be liable to reimburse any costs incurred by potential suppliers who respond to this RFI.
Non-participation in this RFI, or any other element of Preliminary Market Engagement, will not be taken into account in any future formal procurement activities and will not preclude any potential supplier from participating in any subsequent formal procurement procedure.
The procurement process will be managed through the Defence Sourcing Portal (DSP). Potential suppliers will need to notify the MOD of their intention to participate once a Tender Notice is published on Find a Tender Service (FTS).
