Description
To inform the project the SDA will require the market to undertake a series of engagements with the NB. All facets of the feedback will be reviewed and incorporated into the requirement if appropriate and inform the SDA of considerations for ITT. There will be an information pack issued and a questionnaire for prospective bidders to complete for this specific set of requirements at the NB. The information pack issue and the questionnaire will be supported by a Virtual event held via Microsoft Teams W/C 16 February 2026 at a date and time to be confirmed. This event will include a presentation by Commodore Sharon Malkin CBE and her Naval Base colleagues who will provide a run through of the Naval Base and the Soft FM requirement that forms the basis for this engagement. Due to the nature of the operations that take place at the Naval Base, there will be an evaluation of requests to participate in the virtual event and to receive any supplementary information in advance. The engagement will use a number of different channels and forums during 2026; including but not limited to town halls, supplier 1-2-1 sessions and requests for information in an aim to identify the level of industry interest, gain feedback on our approach to the commercial management of our portfolio, to further inform our requirement and understand what approaches industry deem may be suitable for the delivery and running of our contracts once awarded. The first Event will be a Supplier Townhall Brief that will be held by the SDA NSIGN Naval Base Commercial team with a segment delivered from HMNB Clyde Commander on the w/c 16 February 2026. This townhall will be held online. Further to this we then have a clarification period for 2 weeks followed by a supplier EME debrief session, details of which will be made available via the PME platform.
