Engagement Notice for MUSTANG Portfolio

The Authority has an upcoming requirement - MUSTANG Portfolio - for the delivery of Live Training Projects 1 (Next Generation Red Air) and 2 (Next Generation Surface EW Threat).

The Authority is conducting a further Industry Webinar on the 1st of June 2023 to update on MUSTANG Portfolio progress and specifically progress with Projects 1 (Next Generation Red Air) and 2 (Next Generation Surface EW Threat) to inform Industry of its future market engagement plans.

The Portfolio MUSTANG requirement is currently a funded initiative, but in issuing this Prior Information Notice (PIN), the MOD is not committing to carry out any procurement in relation to the strategy stated in this PIN. Any related future procurement activity will be subject to the DSPCR 2011 and advertised accordingly through the relevant channels

The Industry Webinar will be Virtual (MS Teams) on 1st June 2023.

To express an interest in attending this, please confirm via email and provide a name, email address, telephone number & company you are representing to air-cmrcl-ngot@mod.gov.uk with the subject 'Portfolio MUSTANG Industry Webinar June 23'.

This PIN is not a means to seek formal expressions of interest; that opportunity may become available in the future through the publication of a formal contract notice published on the Defence Sourcing Portal (DSP).

Suppliers interested in working with the Ministry of Defence should register on the MOD Supplier Information Database (SID) Register, available at www.contracts.mod.uk. This is a database of active and potential suppliers available to all MOD and UK Defence procurement personnel, and is the main supplier database of MOD Procurement organisations. NB - the registration and publication of a company profile on the MOD SID does not mean or imply that the supplier has in any way been vetted or approved by MOD. Suppliers wishing to compete for advertised MOD contracts must respond to any specific call for competition by submitting a separate expression of interest in accordance with the instructions of the purchasing organisation.

You must not take this Prior Information Notice to mean confirmation that the Authority shall award a contract for this requirement. The Authority is publishing this announcement without any commitment to issue a tender or place a contract. Accordingly, any expenditure, work or effort undertaken before contract award is a matter solely for the commercial judgement of potential suppliers.
