## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is currently inviting tenders for the "USV Payloads" contract, classified under the marine equipment industry. This procurement process is open and active, with a total value of £366,665. The tender period is set to end on 17 January 2022, and the contract is expected to commence on 1 February 2022, with a duration extending until 31 March 2025. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, allowing any interested parties to submit their proposals electronically or in writing.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in marine equipment, particularly those offering DTC radios and associated technologies. Companies that can enhance existing naval systems with innovative solutions are well-suited to compete. The integration of additional equipment aimed at improving the resilience of military communication networks creates a niche for suppliers capable of delivering high-quality products and services in defence. Engaging with this procurement process could enable businesses to build relationships with a key government agency and expand their presence in the defence sector.

## Notice

NavyX requires a number of additional DTC radios (and associated equipment) to equip current NavyX assets and increase the resilience and dynamic nature of the existing mesh network, whilst allowing the authority flexibility to develop the information exchange requirement into discrete control circuit and a payload circuit.
