## Summary

The Ministry of Defence, based in London, is the buying organisation for the "Software Defined Army (Phase 2)" project, classified under research and experimental development services, with a procurement in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement process involved a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement, reflecting a focus on specialised suppliers. The tender process has been completed, culminating in the award stage on 28 April 2025, and the contract extends from 29 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. With a project value of £2,359,800, this competitive tender shows a strategic investment in innovative military technology development.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in research and development in the defence sector, particularly those capable of fulfilling non-routine and technically challenging projects. While it is not specifically suited for SMEs or VCSEs due to the project's scale and requirements, large-scale businesses with experience in experimental development services stand to benefit significantly. Engaging in such high-profile projects can not only provide financial growth but also enhance a company's reputation as a key player in developing cutting-edge military technologies.
