## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is in the planning stage of a procurement process for the Defence Simulation Centre Catalogue (DSCC), with an estimated budget of £6 million. This tender falls under the services category, specifically focused on cataloguing services within the defence sector. A Market Interest Day is scheduled for September 2022 to engage potential suppliers, with a future notice expected by November 1, 2022. The delivery is anticipated to take place in the UK, although specific locations have not yet been determined.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in modelling and simulation resources, data management, software services, and related consulting expertise.
