## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is initiating a tender titled "Calling notice for the Royal Navy's Maritime Enterprise Planning Groups February 2021 - Digital and Data," which falls within the defence services industry category. This procurement is currently at the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 29 January 2021. The relevant location for this project is the South East of England, and the process aims to foster collaboration between military experts and the defence industry to address complex problem sets faced by the Royal Navy.

This procurement opportunity presents significant potential for businesses, particularly those in the defence and technology sectors, to engage in transformative capability discussions with the Royal Navy. Companies that focus on digital solutions and data management, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), will be well-suited to compete in this process. By participating in the Maritime Enterprise Planning Groups, these businesses can gain insights into the Royal Navy's operational needs, ultimately aiding their growth and expansion in this sector.

## 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 at the bottom of this page for further information, including instructions for requesting to attend the sessions.
