UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is buying data integration and engineering services for Task Force Rapid Artificial Intelligence’s Electromagnetic and Information Advantage programme. The work integrates priority operational data into an electromagnetic and information data layer, including data pipelines, technical architecture, documentation, governance and assurance. The aim is to create a secure, scalable and sustainable data foundation for current operational needs and future data sets. The requirement is for IT software development services. The contracting description does not identify a delivery location.

The procurement is complete: the Ministry of Defence selected Leonardo UK Ltd and signed the contract on 24 September 2026. The contract runs from 29 September to 27 November 2026, with an option to extend by six months, to develop a future data implementation roadmap and support new data sources. The contract is valued at £426,116.60 excluding VAT (£511,339.92 including VAT). There is also provision for ad-hoc data-source implementation taskings, capped at £150,000 excluding VAT. The buyer used a limited competition through Lot 1 of its Digital Decision Accelerators for Defence framework. Award criteria and supplier eligibility requirements are not detailed in the published process information.

For suppliers preparing for a comparable Ministry of Defence requirement, the awarded work indicates demand for teams able to integrate priority operational data into a secure electromagnetic and information environment. Credible capability would include data engineering and pipeline delivery, technical architecture, data governance, security assurance and thorough documentation. Suppliers would need to demonstrate that pipelines meet source-specific processing requirements and preserve data integrity, while delivering work that is accepted with minimal rework. The requirement also rewards the ability to work jointly with the Authority on a prioritised roadmap for onboarding future data sets, including dependencies, access assumptions and security considerations. Suppliers should be able to hand over solutions that the Authority can operate, sustain, govern and extend without avoidable reliance on the original supplier. The competition was run through a defence digital framework.
