UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence sought specialist training services for the Ethical Edge Pan-Defence Pilot. The requirement was a 15-minute online learning intervention using realistic scenarios to challenge unacceptable language, together with a facilitator pack for discussion after the online session and training evaluation data. Users would select their service and receive consistent core gameplay with tailored variations for each of the four services. The work falls within specialist and safety training, including training simulator-related services. It was intended as a pan-Defence pilot, with delivery for the Ministry of Defence and application across the four UK armed services.

The buyer reached the tender stage and invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Expressions of interest and electronic submissions were allowed, with enquiries due by 10 July 2026 at 23:59 and tender submissions due by 28 July 2026 at 23:59. The planned contract period was 10 August to 9 November 2026. The published tender and lot values were £0 gross in GBP. The opportunity comprised one lot, with evaluation criteria set out in the invitation to tender. The tender was cancelled on 29 July 2026. The Ministry of Defence decided not to award a contract under the tender, in accordance with Section A-Clause 1g of the invitation to tender.

This opportunity suited suppliers able to design and deliver short, interactive online learning that presents realistic unacceptable-language scenarios in a credible and engaging way. Relevant capability included adapting a shared core learning experience for users from four different services while preserving consistent gameplay, as well as producing facilitator materials for structured post-learning discussion. Suppliers also needed to incorporate training evaluation data into the pilot, supporting assessment of how the intervention performed. The requirement was therefore relevant to digital learning developers, specialist training providers, learning-experience designers and suppliers with simulation or scenario-based training expertise. Organisations with experience delivering sensitive behavioural, safety or Defence-related learning would have been well placed to respond.
