The AJAX team (an LEOC team) are leading this project as they have a confirmed requirement of 275 Boresight kits with an urgent initial requirement to obtain 50 Boresight kits within 6 months of contract award to meet AJAX’s IOC (Initial Operating Capability).This contract may also include options to allow other teams to purchase additional quantities in order to fulfil their own requirements in due course. The approximate total quantity of these optional buys is around 400 (these are best current estimates). As the other team’s requirements are not fully matured, we are unable to quote an exact contract value and duration. Therefore, we estimate the duration to be between 1-5 years, and the overall contract value to be between £2,000,000 - £5,000,000, but this will be dependent on the confirmed ranging and scaling of other teams.
