## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has undertaken a tender for the "Provision of an Independent Assessment of Hadean Technical Demonstrator", valued at £83,333.33, in the IT services sector, specifically for consulting and software development. The procurement method is selective, with the contract period commencing on 1st July 2022 and concluding on 31st March 2023. The tender process has reached the award stage, which was finalised on 30th June 2022, with contract notices published shortly thereafter. The primary location for this procurement activity is Andover, England, with delivery expected at the specified postal code SP11 8HJ.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those that are SMEs, to engage with the Ministry of Defence. Companies with expertise in cloud-based simulation technologies and independent technical evaluations would be particularly well-suited to compete for such contracts. The project aims to enhance the Army's simulation capabilities, indicating a demand for innovative approaches that could drive potential business growth in related sectors.

## Notice

Cloud distributed simulation has the potential to enable the Army to run larger simulations with remote participants for Multi domain Integration and Integrated Action. These capabilities are required to blend training environments and exploit areas of opportunity. A technology demonstrator (TD), provided by Hadean Supercomputing Limited (See Transparency Notice here: https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0da9d8b6-c621-4081-b105-98e49a86e530) will provide industry with confidence in the MOD's approach to introduce a cloud-based simulation platform, inform requirements for services that will be acquired through Defence Digital's Defence Synthetic Environment Platform (DSEP), and support Collective Training Transformation Programme (CTTP) decision making. The TD will be supplemented by this requirement, an Independent Technical Evaluation which will justify the findings of the TD.
