The Ministry of Defence, acting as the buying organisation, seeks to trial specific hardware, creating growth opportunities for suppliers specialising in this sector. Given the open procurement method, this tender was accessible to a wide range of businesses, although the contract was eventually awarded to boxxe Limited, a large supplier. Businesses suited for future similar procurements should have capabilities in hardware provision and a readiness to work within the specified contract periods.
