The Ministry of Defence has invited bids for 3D medium-, short- and very short-range radars from 12 Governments. A Request for Government Proposal has been sent out to the Governments of the French Republic, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the State of Israel, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Republic of Poland, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the United States of America, the Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of Sweden, the Republic of Italy, the Czech Republic, and the Republic of Turkey.
The MOD has issued the Request for Government Proposal to the Governments who have the capacity to deliver the required radars. The other NATO countries will be informed about the Slovak Republicʼs intent to procure new 3D radars during the meeting of the NATO National Armaments Directors on 17 September 2018. If they are interested in participating in the radars replacement project, they will be forwarded the Request for Government Proposal additionally.
The MOD plans to procure 17 pcs of 3D medium-, short- and very short-range radars worth an estimated 155,090,000 euros, VAT included, for the period 2018-2025. Using the Gov-to-Gov Sales method of procurement guarantees transparency and rules out any form of corruption.
The MOD has dismissed media suggestions that it refuses to name the countries with whom it plans to negotiate the deal. As a rule, the countries must first be notified through official channels, and the notification process was not complete at the time of writing a response to the inquiry of the SITA news agency in July 2018. The SITA editor, once again, did not check this information with the MOD before releasing the news.
