This engagement, scheduled for Tuesday, 18th May 2021, at 1 PM, will focus on innovative procurement approaches while adhering to regulatory standards. Interested parties should note that the deadline for engagement submissions is 12th May 2021. The procurement is categorised under Defence services, with delivery addresses encompassing various regions, including the United Kingdom and other nearby territories. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to engage in discussions that could lead to broader contract opportunities with the Ministry of Defence. By participating in this session, businesses can gain valuable insights into procurement processes, establish connections with key decision-makers, and position themselves favourably for future contracts in the defence sector. ## Notice At the first MEPG 5 events many questions have arisen that were not specific to any single procurement but were more directed at the procurement process; how, when and who to engage. Therefore, the Royal Navy will be hosting the next Maritime Enterprise Planning Group seminar/meeting on Tuesday 18th May at 1pm to discuss how we can work alongside industry to procure more innovatively, whilst staying within the relevant procurement regulations. This session does not directly relate to any contract opportunity or requirement.
