## Summary

The procurement process involves the Ministry of Defence seeking the provision of a radio frequency emissions collection capability as part of Exercise Cerberus. This tender, classified under the CPV category of electronic, electromechanical, and electrotechnical supplies, was awarded on 7th October 2020. The contracting value is £160,995.13, with a contract duration starting from 2nd November 2020 to 31st March 2021. The procurement method used was a direct tender through a single tender action, and the project is situated in South East England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) involved in electronic warfare and communications technology. Businesses with expertise in electronic emissions assessment and tactical communication systems would be well-suited to compete, as the contract directly relates to enhancing capabilities critical for operational survival in complex environments.

## Notice

1. 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
