This Contract Opportunity Notice informs industry of the Authority’s intent to approach the market with the requirement to provide a Tailgate Exit Trainer (TET) system.

The anticipated duration of the contract is 5 years, which will cover the completion of all of these activities. The proposed contract will be based upon MOD Standard Terms (Standard Contract 2), with additional conditions appropriate to the contract requirements.
