Team Leidos wishes to stimulate interest, information and views across the market for the supply of this requirement via this Request for Information (RFI) together with other companies whom Leidos believes may be able to provide useful intelligence on our requirement.
Team Leidos is seeking information/views and would be grateful if, in addition to the above, you could answer the following questions:
— Does your organisation currently manufacture, distribute, any combination of these products in the UK?
— Are you currently providing these products elsewhere in the Public Sector? (if so please detail where possible),
The 6 casualty evacuation equipment types we are looking for are below, please contact us for more information on these devices:
(a) soft: essentially a sheet, such as a poncho sheet, that can be carried in a webbing pouch, in order to move a casualty a short distance, usually in extreme circumstance. Stretcher poles are not usually supplied but may be fashioned from the environment;
(b) semi-rigid: types of fabric/plastic stretchers which can be rolled up and often carried in the dismounted role. Usually smaller than NATO STANAG 2040 allows, but this means they are often suitable for very small airframes. Examples include the MIBS™ or the Team8™ stretcher. They usually incorporate some padding so that the patient can be placed on the ground or deck;
(c) ultra-lightweight: specialist stretcher for use in the airborne operations. Similar to the Rigid-folding stretcher but manufactured out of ultra-lightweight materials such as carbon graphite which means they are extremely light. The specialist materials tend to be much more expensive than standard stretcher types. For example the MATBOCK R-Lift stretcher;
(d) rigid-folding: the main “General Service” stretcher in use all along the Operational Patient Care Pathway (OPCP). Must meet NATO STANAG 2040. Current examples of rigid-folding stretchers include the Talon2™ and the Nodin Aviation™ stretchers;
