Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the eLORAN Programme is currently in the planning stage, administered by the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology. The initiative seeks to establish a nationally-owned UK eLORAN system aimed at providing resilient, terrestrial, sovereign Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) services across the UK, benefiting critical national infrastructure and the wider economy. This process involves market engagement, with interested parties encouraged to respond by June 30, 2025, to influence the business case development. The exploratory phase does not represent an immediate procurement commitment. The projected timeline includes a potential contract start in April 2027 and initial operational capability by early 2028, focusing on enhancing PNT resilience. Key stakeholders can participate in clarification sessions before June 13, 2025, and submit detailed responses thereafter.

This initiative presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in global navigation and positioning systems, technology integration, or infrastructure support services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in GPS-alike systems could find themselves well-positioned to participate due to the procurement's suitability for diverse firm sizes. Innovators with unique solutions for PNT challenges are particularly encouraged to propose concepts that could extend the eLORAN system's capabilities. The eLORAN Programme encourages engagement that might lead to contracts commencing in the financial year 2026/27, offering chances to contribute to a transformative national infrastructure project, thus fostering potential growth and innovation pathways for participating firms.
