Future Support of Maritime Multimedia (MMM) Equipment on Royal Navy Platforms

Navy Command Head Quarters (NCHQ) and Defence Digital (DD) have an enduring requirement to ensure Contractor Logistic Support (CLS), to all welfare services, is maintained on applicable surface and subsurface platforms. The three main functions of the Future MMM contract will be to:

• a)Provide Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) for in-service Orbit TV (the TVRO capability that receives the SSVC British Forces Broadcast Service from satellites) equipment for five years from 1st April 2022 to March 31st 2027;
• b)Provide ILS for in-service SRE (the ships distribution system for TV and Radio services) equipment for five years from 1st April 2022 to March 31st 2027; and
• c)Provide ILS for in-service Wi-Fi (Welfare Wi-Fi allows sailors to access the internet in their messes) equipment for five years from 1st April 2022 to March 31st 2027.

The new contract for the Future Support to Maritime Multimedia Equipment on RN Platforms will ensure that all the above services are supported for the five-year period (with one option year). The transition period shall be included within the Contract term. The remaining spares for the Orbit solution have already being procured by the incumbent supplier, however the new supplier will need to complete an inventory of this equipment to capture the condition of the Orbit, SRE and Wi-Fi equipment. This will enable configuration management to be maintained through the contract period.

The Supplier will be responsible, in full or in part, for the following high-level activities:

a - Ongoing support of MMM Equipment (including WiFi Equipment that will be procured through a separate contract – this will require the winning supplier to work alongside the winner of the Welfare WiFi Equipment requirement).

b - Configuration Management

c -Training Quantity or scope: as per II.1.5) Short description of the contract or purchase(s)
