The purpose of this RFI is to gain a better understanding of the solutions, capabilities, and capacity available in the market from organisations that can design, manufacture, install, operate, maintain, and support a RHIB (Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat) rollover training simulator.
NZDF anticipates the RHIB rollover training simulator will support approximately 2000 personnel annually and will be utilised for both individual and collective marine emergency response training. It is expected to support long-term operation over a design life exceeding 20 years.
We are seeking information on the design, manufacture, installation, operation, maintenance, and support of a RHIB rollover training simulator capable of:
• Replicating capsize and inversion events in a controlled training environment.
• Supporting marine survival, special operations, search and rescue, sea survival, and military marine training scenarios.
• Be subjected to high utilisation in a military training environment.
• Complying with applicable New Zealand safety regulations and relevant international standards for personnel-rated training systems
We are also seeking information on related services that may be available:
• Engagement with design teams and provide technical support throughout the project lifecycle
• Support individual and team-based training activities.
• (ideally) Provide complementary training systems such as halo winching and other applicable marine survival training functionality.
• Demonstrate long-term manufacturer support capability.
• Complete Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT).
• Deliver instructor and maintenance team training.
• Offer long-term availability of parts and technical support as required.
We would like to hear from organisations who have the capability, capacity and experience to provide the simulator and associated services, that will be in Auckland, New Zealand.
