## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has issued a tender for the procurement of small, agile, weatherproof Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance purposes. The tender, with an estimated value of £9,650,000 GBP, is currently in the active stage. The submission deadline for bids is 5th December 2022, with a bid validity period until 6th March 2023. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender can be accessed electronically or through written submissions.

This tender by the Ministry of Defence offers lucrative opportunities for businesses specializing in the supply of UAVs for military applications. Companies with expertise in unmanned combat aerial vehicles and experience in delivering to defence organizations would be well-suited to compete. The location for the procurement is Portsmouth, UK, and the tender presents a chance for businesses to engage with a significant government buyer and potentially secure a contract for the supply of UAVs to the Royal Navy and Royal Marines.

## Notice

Brief description of the requirement: The Greater London Authority London Elects team, on behalf of the GLRO, wishes to procure a Service Provider for the design, print , distribution and project management of approximately 18 million ballot papers ahead of polling day so that every eligible registered has the opportunity to vote, including attainers. Attainers are 16 and 17-year-olds who will turn 18 during this period. In order to ensure successful and timely delivery of the ballot papers, the Service Provider will also be responsible for the overall project management of these activities. This will include, but not be limited to, data management and liaison with relevant third parties and stakeholders such as London Elects, Transport for London (TfL) as the GLA's procurement service provider, individual London Boroughs and any subcontractors appointed for the project. This exercise does not form part of any formal procurement process. All responses will be carefully considered but will not bind TfL to any particular approach to the procurement, nor will responses be treated as conveying any promise or commitment on the part of the respondent.
