Summary of the contracting process

The MINISTRY OF DEFENCE has completed the procurement process for the "Command and Staff Trainer (CAST)" project, classified under training simulators, with a total contract value of £7,255,512. The contract, which was awarded on 26th February 2020, is effective from 29th February 2020 to 28th February 2023, with potential extensions of four additional one-year options. The procurement was conducted through a limited method using a negotiated procedure without prior publication, and the services will be delivered primarily at MOD sites in Catterick and Warminster in the UK, as well as in Sennelager, Germany.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in service provisions for military training systems, particularly those capable of offering Contractor Logistic Support (CLS) and Post Design Services (PDS). Companies that are well-versed in synthetic training environments and have experience with defence contracts would be particularly suited to engage in future related opportunities. Although this specific contract has already been awarded, understanding this sector could facilitate connections with the MOD for potential upcoming tenders in similar domains.
