## Summary

The Ministry of Defence's Situational Awareness Command and Control (SACC) Delivery Team based in Bristol has awarded a contract titled "Project CERBERUS - SACC/00003." This project, which falls under the category of Technical Computer Support Services, has a total value of £56,000,000, covering the period from 1st September 2020 to 16th March 2022. The procurement process is in the Award stage, having concluded the tender period on 24th July 2020. The contract is a continuation of support to the UK Air Surveillance and Control System (UKASACS) and involves modifications to an existing agreement with IBM United Kingdom Limited.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the technical support and IT services sector, particularly those with experience in defence and surveillance systems. With a high contract value and a focus on national airspace management, firms offering innovative technology solutions, cybersecurity, and ongoing system maintenance could find a competitive edge. Businesses with a proven record in similar projects or services will be particularly well-positioned to engage in future procurement opportunities with the Ministry of Defence.
