Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is seeking to engage suppliers for the provision of QEC FLYCO training and currency using Augmented Reality (AR/VR). The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a key milestone — the engagement end date — set for 19 March 2021. This tender falls under the classification of training software package and is aimed at organisations that can support training for the FLYCO team on the Queen Elizabeth Aircraft Carriers. The training will transition from traditional methods to the use of a simulator in a shore-based facility.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can provide innovative training solutions. Businesses specialising in technology development for simulation and AR/VR applications, particularly those with experience in defence or maritime training, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging with this procurement process can enhance a company's profile in the defence sector and help establish long-term relationships with government and military organisations.
