UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is buying an electronic warfare training system. The requirement is for software that provides a simulated environment and generates Signals of Interest for electronic warfare training. This is a software supply opportunity, including licence management software and associated licence management software development services (CPV 72212218 and 48218000). The system is intended to support electronic warfare training rather than operational deployment. Delivery and performance are required in the United Kingdom. The procurement is a single requirement, managed by the Ministry of Defence from RAF Cosford, Wolverhampton, for use across the UK. Suppliers specialising in electronic warfare simulation, training software, signal generation or software licensing may find the scope relevant.

The process reached tender: the Ministry of Defence invited offers through an open procedure. It has one lot, with electronic tender submission permitted through the Defence Sourcing Portal; suppliers must register for a free account. The deadline for enquiries was 17 September 2026 at 17:00, and the tender submission deadline is 2 October 2026 at 17:00. The expected award decision date is 12 October 2026. The contract period runs from 2 November 2026 to 2 November 2030. The estimated value is £1,319,686 excluding VAT, or £1,583,623.20 including VAT. Offers are evaluated on value for money, with price identified as the criterion. The opportunity is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This opportunity suits suppliers able to deliver software for electronic warfare training, including a credible simulated environment and generation of Signals of Interest. Relevant businesses are likely to have practical expertise in electronic warfare modelling, signal simulation, training-system software, software integration or licence management. The requirement is also relevant to suppliers with experience supplying defence or other high-assurance training environments, although the published selection criteria identify only economic and technical requirements without further detail. Software developers, specialist electronic warfare technology companies, licence-management providers and systems integrators may therefore be well placed to compete, either independently or in partnership. The single-lot structure gives a supplier responsibility for the complete requirement, so bidders should be able to provide the necessary technical capability and delivery capacity.
