This contract, which involves engineering support services, was awarded to BAE Systems (Operations) Limited for an amount of £1,782,873. The contract period commenced on 3rd January 2017 and is set to run until 2nd January 2020. The delivery of services is primarily targeted at locations within the South West region of the United Kingdom, and the procurement process was initiated with the intention of ongoing software support and modifications to ensure compatibility with the Bowman system. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialised in engineering support services and software development, particularly those experienced in defence systems and military applications. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this contract less accessible, as it has been awarded to a large supplier, but businesses with expertise in related software modifications and systems compatibility in defence or similar sectors might still explore ancillary or collaborative opportunities. Engaging with such contracts can facilitate participation in the defence industry landscape and contribute to growth through partnerships and subcontracting possibilities. ## Notice The Joint Sensors and Engagement Networks (JSENs) Team, part of the UK Ministry of Defence (the Authority), intends to place a new Contract with BAE Systems (Operations) Limited (the Contractor) for continued in-service support and provision of software licences and equipment for the Ground Based Air Defence Battlefield Information System Application. This support will include modification to the software to ensure it remains compatible with the Bowman system on which it is hosted, as that system undergoes mid-life software update.
