The brief

Introduction This RFI is not a bidding opportunity but a means by which industry can provide information.

Any resulting procurement activity will be conducted competitively.

Please note: This RFI is an information gathering exercise, no further discussions with industry are planned at this stage however any future procurement activity will be advertised in line with public procurement regulations on the Defence Sourcing Portal and Contracts Finder.

Background Moving to a modern and innovative GPS tracking capability that informs Exercise Control (ExCon), compatible with monitors for early detection and prevention of heat injury, will allow Royal Navy and Royal Marine instructors to deploy trainees onto multi-terrain exercise areas with the minimum of supervision, and increased confidence in their ability to track and recover trainees as required.

The system should be capable of displaying individuals' positions on digital mapping (OS or foreign equivalent) and provide an 8- figure grid reference of their location.

It must be simple to operate by the military user and require minimal training.

To maximize efficiency the system and its proposed connectivity must be compatible with current devices used.

The concept should have the ability to bolt on options, such as airtime, licenses, and stagger delivery dates, in order to consolidate various contracts.

An assisted system with third-party management is not acceptable.
