The contract duration is set for a total of ten years, including a maintenance phase that may extend for an additional five years, contingent on performance.

Companies offering technological solutions compatible with the Ministry of Defence's specifications and capable of supporting the integration of MOD-owned software, such as the Virtual Battle Space 3, will be particularly well-suited to compete.
