Unite Procurement UK Limited, on behalf of the Ministry of Defence, is seeking suppliers for the supply of robust, safe and realistic bayonet training dummies to support Phase 1 Basic Training establishments. The requirement covers two types of equipment: ground-mounted bayonet dummies for stable, fixed individual and collective bayonet assault drills, and hook-mounted suspended bayonet dummies for dynamic training scenarios. Equipment must be suitable for indoor and outdoor use, withstand intensive daily use, replicate human torso dimensions with realistic target areas for thrusting and striking, minimise damage to training rifles and bayonet equipment, be weather and UV resistant, require minimal maintenance, remain serviceable after repeated impact by training rifles fitted with authorised training bayonets, contain no exposed sharp edges or snagging hazards, and be manufactured from non-toxic materials in compliance with UK health and safety legislation. Unite Procurement Platform offers a compliant route to market for UK public sector organisations for this low-value, high-volume procurement; multiple suppliers may be onboarded and applications are welcome on a rolling basis. Interested suppliers should register interest with Unite Procurement UK Limited, providing product range, modification capabilities and maintenance services, and contact [email protected] with the subject title 'TSS 634 Opportunity' for further onboarding information.
