## Summary

The Ministry of Defence, through the Training & Simulation Systems Portfolio (TSSP) Team, is undertaking a limited procurement process to extend the existing Live Fires Monitoring Equipment (LFME) contract with Krauss-Maffei Wegmann GmbH & Co. KG (KMW) for an additional 12 months. This decision comes ahead of the contract expiry on 31st December 2021, and is guided by the need to ensure continuity in support for training operations for British Army units at various levels. The procurement method employed is a negotiated procedure without prior publication, citing the absence of competition due to technical reasons, and the current value of the contract is approximately €2,035,216.54.

This contract extension offers significant opportunities for businesses engaged in training equipment and support services, particularly those with expertise in live fire monitoring systems. Companies that possess intellectual property rights in this area, or those with the capacity to provide complementary services, would be well-positioned to participate in future tenders or extensions. The strategic importance of maintaining training readiness in the military sector means that businesses can leverage this contract to foster long-term partnerships and expand their portfolios within defence procurement.
