Field Deployable Computed Tomography System (FDCTS)

FDCTS ILR - RFI (via the DSP)

- Listed requirements are given at a high level; to open communications, not enter a formal engagement, as this is just an Initial Look Request (ILR). Should the decision be taken to proceed with an acquisition, a formal competition process would follow. - If you would be able to assist with elements of the below, please provide details. - Where multiple alternatives could fulfil a requirement, please provide separate descriptions and costs for each option. - Very Rough Order of Magnitude (VROM) costs only are requested at this stage. If costing for an item is provided as a range, please also indicate most likely cost. - A response is requested within 3 weeks of this notification being released. - Images of equipment (.pdf) would be useful. - Likely delivery timescale would be by FY 24/25 for the full capability including delivery of initial training.

Requirement

- 2x Field Deployable Computed Tomography (CT) scanner. High-fidelity full-body scanner with no lower than 64-slice capability and fitted with appropriate power interface ports. Robust enough scanner to be taken off-road to be deployed on Operations, or sufficiently damped to enable traversing rough terrain. Head to pelvis scanning in one pass will be a minimum requirement. Please provide details of dosage and time required to complete a full body scan. If this is not possible in one pass, indicate dosage and time to complete full body.

- Surrounding Infrastructure (Container/Shelter) - CT scanner will need to be fitted within either a self-deploying capability or transportable container by existing fleet which permits deployment of a 20' ISO (International Standards Organisation) shipping container. Container/shelter solution could be an entirely solid shell or a combination of solid walls and an expanding shelter in place of a solid roof. The capability will require a rigid floor/baseplate that is self-levelling to permit use in the field and a shielded clinical area will be required for the radiographers. Suitable space to permit full-body scanning in one pass is desirable; head to pelvis scanning in one pass as a minimum.

- Training - Initial user and maintainer courses.

- Through Life Support for the full capability for a minimum of 10 years. This is to include training, spares, servicing, maintenance and Ongoing original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) post-design services
