The contract, valued at £2.249 million, was awarded on 17th May 2021, following a limited procurement method due to the technical specificities of the software, which is exclusively produced by BAE Systems.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in software licensing, particularly those that can provide advanced imaging or geographic intelligence solutions.
