Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Fully Networked Command, Control and Communications (FNC3)" project has concluded with the award phase, managed by the Ministry of Defence located in Whitehall, London. The tender focused on computer-related professional services, aiming to support the UK-US Joint Plan for C5I interoperability. The selective procurement method used was a call-off from a framework agreement, valued at £533,121. Important dates included the tender period ending on 1st June 2025, the contract period spanning from 30th June 2025 to 31st March 2026, and the active award issued on 13th June 2025. The award was successfully granted to Amentum Clean Energy Limited.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in computer-related professional services, particularly those with expertise in data standards and security. The preference for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) makes it an excellent opportunity for these types of businesses to engage with government defence projects. Enterprises capable of contributing to data-centric and zero trust strategies for enhanced interoperability between the UK and US could significantly benefit from participating in similar future tenders. By doing so, they can solidify relationships with key government institutions like the Ministry of Defence and enhance their profile in the defence industry.
