Description
Safety & Monitoring (S&M) system
The S&M system ensures safe operation of Complex Weapon (CW) Processing and Test facilities, namely, Integrated Weapons Complex's (IECs), CW test facilities, and Non-Explosive Workshops (NEWS).
The existing S&M system installed over 40+yrs ago is fast becoming obsolete and there is increased difficulty in sourcing spares and components.
The replacement of this equipment is crucial to CW testing at DM Gosport and DM Beith in compliance with Defence Safety Authority (DSA) 03. It requires an in-depth understanding of how the entire systems works and integrates with existing facilities and munitions.
DM require Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to review and subsequently design a new solution for an S&M system to interface with existing facilities and provide access control when processing current and future complex munitions.
The design will require implementation to supply and install the equipment at DM sites; Beith and Gosport. The expectation is that this work will be split into two elements of work: Review and Design of the S&M system and, Supply and Installation of the S&M system.
The S&M system will be required to incorporate key functions such as:
- Access Control assets, namely:
o CCTV to monitor site and Integrated Weapons Complex (IWC) activities and movements from each area of the IWC.
o Intercom Systems to enable communication within the IWCs, including onwards transmission of the Depot Tannoy announcements and integration with Intruder Detection Systems (IDS) with Security Services Group (SSG).
o Access control of numbers and movement of Hazardous materials
o External audio and visual indicators.
- Recording of environmental conditions.
- 'Test permissions granted' function.
Market Information Exchange Day: The MoD shall invite suppliers with an interest in the S&M equipment replacement to a face-to face Market Information Exchange Day on 10 Sep 24.
