Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has completed the procurement process for the "Flightlens and Rover Apps License Procurement". This procurement falls under the industry's "License management software package" category and involves the purchase of FlightLens software licenses, including ROVER Applications, to support the DJFI project. The contract was awarded on 4th February 2025 to L3 Harris Technologies Inc, based in the United States, for the total value of USD 800,000. This procurement process was conducted through a limited method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as it falls outside the scope of the directive.

This tender provides significant business growth opportunities, especially for large-scale technology firms capable of providing specialised software solutions for governmental defence projects. Suppliers with expertise in software licensing, particularly those servicing the defence sector, would be well-suited to compete for similar future contracts. Subcontracting opportunities may also be available, offering additional prospects for businesses to engage with primary contractors in fulfilling the MOD's requirements.
