## Summary

The MINISTRY OF DEFENCE is seeking to procure a "Plug-In Sensor Pack for Marworks Situational Awareness (MSA) / MPU5 Radio Systems" to enhance the operational capabilities of RN/RM through advanced sensor integration. This procurement is classified under the category of Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment with a total contract value of £155,000. The tender, which utilised an open procurement method, was published on 29 January 2021 and had a tender period that concluded on 5 March 2021. The contract is set to commence on 23 March 2021 and will run for a duration of one year until 23 March 2022, with delivery expected at a location in Portsmouth, England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in communication technologies and sensor systems. Businesses that produce high-quality sensors, cameras, and related equipment, particularly those familiar with military specifications and integration into complex systems, would be well-suited to engage in this procurement. Collaborating with the MINISTRY OF DEFENCE could not only broaden a company's market reach but also lead to future contracts in defence and security sectors. Businesses are encouraged to stay informed about similar opportunities to leverage them for growth.

## Notice

The requirement is to procure a series of UGS and PIR sensors, cameras, video compressors and vehicle installation equipment to fulfil FCF T&E requirements. This will guarantee the RN/RM have the necessary technologies and SQEP to support experimentational activities during FCF transformation; ensuring the capability is appropriately integrated into the MSA+/EVE network architecture. Procurement of these technologies will significantly enhance Situational Awareness (SA) dissemination across disaggregated operating environments, whilst optimising force protection measures within deployed teams.
