Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence sought electronic warfare training systems and related software services. The requirement covers a licence management software package and software development services, supporting the delivery of electronic warfare training capabilities. The contracting authority is the Ministry of Defence, with the work delivered in the United Kingdom. This is a services procurement rather than a supply-only purchase, so relevant businesses are likely to provide a combination of electronic warfare training technology, software licensing and development support. The requirement was presented as a current contract re-let following earlier market engagement. It was structured as a single requirement covering the electronic warfare training system and its associated licensing and software development services.

The process reached tender: the Ministry of Defence invited offers through an above-threshold open procedure. Enquiries had to be submitted by 16 June 2026 at 23:59, and tenders by 1 July 2026 at 23:59. Offers were to be submitted through the Defence Sourcing Portal, with supplier registration free of charge. The planned award decision date was 20 July 2026 at 23:59:59. The contract period was 3 August 2026 to 3 August 2030, with an estimated value of £1,583,628 excluding VAT, or £1,900,353.60 including VAT. The sole lot was evaluated on value for money, with price identified as the criterion. The procurement was cancelled during evaluation because differing interpretations of licensing and pricing prevented consistent like-for-like comparison, and the scope required further consideration before award.

This opportunity suits software companies and specialist defence technology suppliers able to deliver electronic warfare training systems over a multi-year period. Relevant capability includes managing software licences, developing or adapting software, and supporting training-system users in a defence environment. Suppliers should be prepared to explain how their licensing model and associated pricing work, because these were central to the evaluation difficulties that led to cancellation. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it potentially relevant to specialist firms as well as larger defence contractors. Businesses with experience combining software development, licence administration and electronic warfare training applications are the closest fit. The re-let may be of interest to suppliers able to refine a clear, comparable technical and commercial proposition.
