The Authority intends to hold an Industry Day on 20th October 2022 to present the requirement and seek feedback. The Project MONET requirement is currently a funded initiative but in issuing this Prior Information Notice (PIN), the MOD is not committing to carry out any procurement in relation to the strategy stated in this PIN.
