## Summary

The procurement process involves the Ministry of Defence procuring services for the "Provision of a Radio Frequency Emissions Collection Capability for Exercise Wessex Storm" located in the South East of England. The contract, valued at £77,239.80, was awarded to Roke Manor Research Limited following a single tender action, a method used for contracts below threshold. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract period running from 16 June 2021 to 30 June 2021 and the award date occurring on 15 June 2021.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software packages and information systems. Companies involved in electronic warfare and tactical communication solutions would be well-suited to compete, particularly those that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). The focus on enhancing electronic emissions analysis capabilities invites innovative solutions that can bolster the Ministry of Defence's operational effectiveness.

## Notice

HF, VHF and UHF radio links, using voice and data, are the primary means of command and control at the tactical level. However, the electronic emissions from these radios can be easily intercepted by an adversary allowing this data to be collected, analysed and formations identified. CTG currently lacks the capability to assess and analyse the emissions of exercising units, which in turn limits the understanding of a units Emission Control (EMCON). Our potential adversaries, including Russia, have invested heavily in Electronic Warfare (EW) which, coupled with their extensive indirect fire capability and less restrictive Rules of Engagement, makes adherence to EMCON and use of Counter-Surveillance Control Measures (CSCM) critical for survivability.
