II.1.5)Short description of the contract or purchase(s):
Newcastle International Airport (NIA) is seeking to procure a new Primary Surveillance Radar (PSR). In addition to this, NIA are seeking to procure a Radar Display System (RDS) for the New Control Tower Building (NCTB) (and possibly also the Contingent Control Tower Building (CCTB)). NIA also wish to procure a universal Remote Status Indicator (RSI) for the NIA surveillance systems and navigational aids. This RSI should serve the NCTB (and possibly also the CCTB). To support NIA Air Traffic Services (ATS), NIA are also seeking to procure Wind Turbine Mitigation Solutions(s) (WTMS) to support their wind farm mitigation strategy. Also being considered within the scope of the programme is the introduction of a new or supplementary Service Delivery Point (SDP) for the collation of surveillance data at NIA. This is explained in greater detail under the description of "Lots”.

II.2)Quantity or scope of the contract
II.2.1)Total quantity or scope:
The total scope of the contract includes:
- The design, manufacture/supply, install, test and commission of an ATS PSR system which is either resilient to the effects of wind turbines or shall include a WTMS;
- Replacement of existing RDS in the NCTB (and possibly also the CCTB);
- Introduction of a new or supplementary SDP for the collation of surveillance data at NIA;
- Data communications between the surveillance sensor(s) and the SDP / RDS equipment;
- RSI for surveillance systems and navigational aids; and
- System interfaces and site power supplies.
The procurement and installation of the following elements
- Surveillance sensor system, WTMS, RSI and RDS;
- Electrical/electronic interface work;
- Communication cabling and power supplies; and
- Associated civil works.
One organisation will be selected to design, manufacture/supply, install, test and commission the PSR system and associated interfaces at NIA. However, a separate supplier could be considered for the replacement of the existing RDS. The supplier(s) of the surveillance sensor and WTMS system(s) must be able to integrate with the replacement RDS in the NCTB (and possibly also the CCTB). It should be noted that certain aspect(s) of the requirement may be let as a separate contract or retained in house, such as provision of fibre optic connectivity or certain aspects of the associated civil installation works.

NIA is located approximately six miles North West of Newcastle city centre. In 2012 the airport handled over 4 million passengers, and offers flights to some 74 destinations worldwide. A number of wind farm schemes are being promoted by developers in the vicinity of NIA. Wind turbines are well known to have a detrimental effect on the safe provision of air traffic services due to their impact on primary surveillance systems. As a result, there is an increasing demand to mitigate the effects of wind farms upon the air traffic services operated at NIA. To ensure continuing safe air operations and safeguard business continuity, NIA wish to initiate a procurement programme to replace their surveillance system equipment.
