Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "MHC Block 2 Remote Command Centre (RCC) Integration and Supply" has recently moved to the award stage, with the Ministry of Defence acting as the buyer. The project, focusing on command and control systems, involves substantial integration and manufacturing work valued at £100,000,000. The work will be carried out in multiple regions across the United Kingdom: North West, South East, and South West. Initiated on 8th April 2025, the tender was completed on 24th October 2025, and the contract term runs from 16th December 2025 to 31st March 2029. The procurement method was a limited negotiated procedure without prior publication, compliant with DSPCR 2011 regulations.

This tender offers an excellent opportunity for large-scale industries with capabilities in command and control integration, manufacturing, and systems delivery to engage with the defence sector. Companies that can offer specialised technology and services to enhance the Ministry of Defence's Mine Hunting Capability platforms will find considerable scope for growth. While the main contract is awarded to Thales UK Limited, there may be opportunities for subcontracting. Businesses seeking to partner as subcontractors would benefit from establishing ties with Thales UK for potential involvement in this expansive project.
