    Brief

    The UK Ministry of Defence seeks a contractor to provide post-design services and repairs for the Mobile Test Facility (MTF), a Mercedes Sprinter vehicle equipped with specialized Interoperability Test Tools. The MTF provides testing and assurance for Tactical Data Links (TDL) across Royal Navy maritime platforms, including Link 11, Link 16, and JREAPC. Services include functional testing, defect diagnosis, rectification, and repairs to support pre-deployment workups and platform releases. The contractor will maintain and upgrade test equipment and analysis software, manage software licenses, and ensure the MTF remains aligned with the Maritime Multi Link Programme to standardize maritime platforms over the next five years. The contractor must possess technical expertise, system specifications knowledge, and access to original software documentation and tools. The vehicle provides mobile TDL testing capability that can be deployed nationwide to support trials, NATO exercises, and allied nation operations. Cyber Risk Level: Low (RAR-250529B05).
