    Brief

    The UK Ministry of Defence is seeking suppliers for a minimum of one Modular A-Frame unit with associated equipment and in-service support. This equipment will be integrated into a Launch and Recovery (L&R) System to support Royal Navy operations, training activities, and evaluation for potential fleet-wide deployment across RN vessels. The Authority is exploring the possibility of procuring additional quantities of A-Frames, associated equipment, spare parts, training, maintenance services, and related goods and services in the future. The final quantities, scope, and contract duration will be determined based on operational requirements, budget availability, and procurement strategy. The commercial strategy, support arrangements, and delivery schedule are still under development. This Procurement Market Engagement (PMEN) and Request for Information (RFI) are market consultation activities and do not represent a firm commitment to procurement; the Authority reserves the right to proceed with the planned procurement, pursue alternative procurement routes, or decide not to proceed.
