Tender Details

Project Description: This opportunity is issued for an urgent capability requirement and is NOT subject to existing Procurement regulations. WAYFINDER is a Space Delivery Team owned project for a preferred supplier to develop and prove the performance of at least 2 multi-PNT-sensor fusion engines within 4 x 3-month spirals. There is a particular focus on improving Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) operation within environments where the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is degraded and/or denied. To achieve this objective, Space DT are seeking to let a contract with an industry partner who can: • Quickly identify existing, potentially suitable PNT sensor fusion products and alternative PNT sensors. Collate and communicate detail surrounding their performance and availability. • Organise, facilitate, and regularly repeat trials that can provide robust evidence of how the PNT sensor fusion products and individual sensors perform in a GNSS denied and degraded environment. • Lead on fast-paced improvements to those PNT sensor fusion products, with the aim of providing fieldable technology through spiral development in approximately 3-month increments. A key focus for Space DT is on a PNT sensor fusion product that can quickly and easily operate on a range of UAVs in a variety of different environments, with different PNT sensors, i.e. using a common data standard such as All Source Position and Navigation (ASPN). It is expected that the identification of suitable market products will happen continuously, alongside iterations of PNT sensor fusion development and associated trials. To select an industry partner to deliver that ambition, Space DT are proposing to utilise a novel approach focused on robustly identifying who can achieve all elements of that main contract in the tight timescales that are required. That approach is to conduct a 2-stage down-selection which further derails will be in the Tender documentation. Please see notes for additional detail ...
Notes The total contract value is to be split between an initial 2-month contract and a full term contract. The short term contract is estimated to be £1Millon to be split between an intended 5 suppliers and the remaining £9M is intended to be allocated to the full term contract which is intended to be awarded to 1 or more suppliers. More information can be found within the RFQ documentation.
