The contract, valued at GBP 300,725, involves conducting technical studies on TDL network architecture and tactical military communications. The procurement method used was selective, calling off from a framework agreement. The contract period is from October 24, 2022, to March 31, 2023, with the tender period ending on March 15, 2022. The buying organisation is the Ministry of Defence, located in Andover, South East England. The main procurement category is services. This tender by the Ministry of Defence presents business opportunities for companies specialising in feasibility studies, advisory services, and analysis within the defence industry. It is suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can provide innovative solutions and expertise in tactical data links and military communications. The contract's focus on technical de-risking and programme level research and experimentation makes it attractive for businesses with capabilities in network architecture, situational awareness, battlespace management, and command and control functions. ## Notice The Land Environment Tactical Communications and Information Systems (LE TacCIS) programme aims to deliver tactical military communications and consists of multiple projects delivering elements of an intended single network. The LE TacCIS Innovation, Research Experimentation (IRE) activities aims to conduct programme level research and experimentation to de-risk solution development for a wider Land Domain Communication and Information System (LD CIS) perspective and consider what areas require development to ensure that individual projects remain able to deliver their elements of the Single Information Environment. The intent of the LE TacCIS-IRE activities includes technical de-risking of programme themes and addressing themes that cover multiple projects and provides a means of including innovative thought into LE TacCIS. This activity will support the Networks theme of the IRE activities and in particular Tactical Data Links (TDL). Tactical Information exchange has never needed to be more accurate, agile and timely to keep pace with persistent and high tempo changes across the battlespace. To achieve an efficient and effective tactical outcome in national and international environments, the automated and secure exchange of (near) real-time Situational Awareness, Battlespace Management and Command and Control functions can be fulfilled by Tactical Data Links. Several varieties of TDLs have been developed, each designed to support a difference domain and/or warfare demand. Building on the outputs of Phase 1 TDL study conducted in 2021 (DInfoCom/0125), deliver a more detailed technical study on the technicalities and practical implementation of a TDL network architecture within the Land Domain that can complement current and future LE TacCIS and Land ISTAR capabilities (and other multi domain links). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3d7730f3-a5b5-4730-91b0-5e7a39431455 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Nov 2022 | | Submission deadline | 15 Mar 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 2 Oct 2022 | | Contract period | 23 Oct 2022 - 31 Mar 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £300,725 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £300,725 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF DEFENCE | | Locality | ANDOVER | | Post town | Salisbury | | Postcode | SP11 8HJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ3 Hampshire and Isle of Wight | | ITL 3 | TLJ36 Central Hampshire | | Local authority | Test Valley | | Electoral ward | Andover Millway | | Westminster constituency | North West Hampshire | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | META MISSION DATA | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71241000 - Feasibility study, advisory service, analysis ## Release History - 3 Nov 2022 at 11:19 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3d7730f3-a5b5-4730-91b0-5e7a39431455 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3d7730f3-a5b5-4730-91b0-5e7a39431455 3rd November 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/cfa68e71-72af-4a84-8340-3986fca6dc83 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ebf5e4fa-efec-4503-afea-aff1489176c8 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a4d4c2e8-a5a2-45b2-8a16-516c1de413fc ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
