Summary

Machine-generated summary

The Ministry of Defence awarded a research contract to the University of Portsmouth on 2026-09-01. The work aims to prevent peripheral cold injuries among UK Armed Forces personnel operating in cold environments, by developing a prediction tool to identify susceptible Service Personnel and a clinical assessment tool to help clinicians assess injured personnel safely for their return to cold environments. The laboratory-based research will largely take place at the climate chamber in North Yorkshire. The awarded contract is valued at £239,315.00 excluding VAT, against an estimated value of £239,315.00. The Armed Forces operate increasingly in the Nordic-Baltic regions and on NATO's deterrence tasks in the High North and Eastern flank.

Description

Description The UK Armed Forces are more frequently operating in cold environments to contribute to NATO’s deterrence in the High North and on the Eastern flank; but data suggest that the number of cases of peripheral cold injuries is increasing in deployed Service Personnel (SP), even during short deployments. Given our growing presence in the Nordic-Baltic regions, Defence urgently needs to identify and protect SP susceptible to cold injuries and improve the clinical assessment of injured SP for their safe and timely return to cold environments. This work will aim to reduce the risk of peripheral cold injuries by developing a prediction tool to identify susceptible SP; and improve deployability by developing a clinical assessment tool to enable clinicians to assess injured SP safely and efficiently, year-round. This laboratory-based research will largely take place at the climate chamber in North Yorkshire. Value of the Procurement (Ex VAT) £239,315.00
