## Summary

The procurement process is initiated by the MINISTRY OF DEFENCE, focusing on the "Calling notice for the Royal Navy's Maritime Enterprise Planning Groups December 2020." This initiative falls under the defence services category and will take place in the South East of the United Kingdom. Currently at the planning stage, this procurement process has a key engagement deadline of 10th December 2020 for interested parties to respond. The process aims to foster dialogue between military experts and industry professionals to address procurement challenges effectively.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) engaged in defence services. Businesses that specialise in military support, strategic consultancy, or technology solutions would find themselves well-positioned to participate. Engaging in these planning sessions not only allows for visibility in future procurement opportunities but also enables businesses to influence the procurement strategy directly by showcasing their capabilities and addressing potential concerns collaboratively.

## Notice

This is a calling notice for the Royal Navy's first Maritime Enterprise Planning Group sessions to be held in December 2020. These sessions will provide a means to have open and honest dialogue with industry. Set within commercial guidelines, they will bring together military and defence industry capability experts on a periodic basis to assist in resolving problem-led procurement questions. Nothing in this notice, the MEPG sessions, or any other engagements with Industry prior to a formal procurement process, shall be construed as a representation as to the Authority's ultimate decision in relation to future requirements. Please see the attached document at the bottom of this page for further information, including instructions for requesting to attend the sessions.
