This contract falls under the radar category of the services industry and is valued at £18,000,000. The contract covers various delivery locations, including the United Kingdom and international territories. The procurement method utilised was a single-source approach, indicating a specific selection of the supplier, SAAB AB (publ), a large-scale company based in Sweden. The contract period spans from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2028. The award was formalised with publication on 18th June 2025, following the active award status on 5th June 2025.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for large businesses within the defence and advanced radar technology sectors to engage with and support the Ministry of Defence. While small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) were found unsuitable for this specific tender, it illustrates the scale and potential for growth available through government contracts for technologically advanced and established firms. Companies capable of offering specialised radar support services, particularly those with a focus on agile multi-beam radar systems, are well positioned to leverage such opportunities for future contract bids and partnerships.
