## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is initiating a tender titled "Calling notice for the Royal Navy's Maritime Enterprise Planning Group March 2021 - Carrier Strike and Maritime Aviation". This procurement falls under the defence services industry category, with the engagement located in the South East region of the United Kingdom. Currently in the planning stage, the key engagement deadline is set for 26th February 2021. The procurement process encourages alignment between military requirements and industry capabilities to facilitate operational advantages through a collaborative approach.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to engage with the Royal Navy and influence future defence procurement strategies. Businesses that specialise in innovative defence solutions, operational support, or technology services would be well-positioned to participate in this dialogue. The programme aims to build relationships and to foster open discussions that could lead to transformative contracts, thereby supporting growth and expansion within the procurement landscape.

## Notice

The complex problem set faced by the Royal Navy in the modern operating environment calls for a closer alignment with industry. This is required in order to both understand mutual requirements and to pursue transformative capability that will deliver operational advantage in a more agile way. The inauguration of Maritime Enterprise Planning Groups, aligned to the Royal Navy Capability Planning Groups, 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 below for further information, including instructions for requesting to attend the sessions.
