Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Ministry of Defence, which is seeking a Dismounted Situational Awareness (DSA) Design and Integration Partner (D&IP) to support the design and development of the DSA System. This public procurement falls under the engineering design services category and is situated in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The awarded contract, valued at £3.5 million, was initiated following a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement.
