## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is overseeing the NJORD procurement process, focusing on mitigating interference issues caused by offshore windfarms on UK air defence radar systems. The title of the procurement is "NJORD Call-Off Competition 1," and it falls under the "air defence radar" industry category. Located in the UK, this procurement process is currently in the "award" stage, with the most recent contract being signed on 26 February 2026. The procurement employs a restricted procedure, a selective method that ensures only those suppliers meeting predefined criteria can tender. This process forms part of a wider aim to maintain air defence capabilities as the UK strategically expands its green energy initiatives by commissioning numerous offshore windfarms by 2030.

This opportunity presents several avenues for business growth, particularly for firms specialising in air defence solutions such as radar technologies, UAV systems, and satellite technologies. Companies with the capability to innovate, provide mitigation solutions, or enhance existing radar systems will find this tender particularly relevant. Suitable candidates include well-established defence contractors or technology firms capable of delivering high-quality solutions within tight project timelines and fulfilling the Ministry of Defence's rigorous standards. The procurement stage invites submissions from qualified bidders, including prominent names like BAE Systems Surface Ships Limited, and other internationally recognised specialists in aerospace and defence technology. With a significant contract value of GBP 95 million, this project promises substantial rewards for businesses poised to address critical defence requirements while contributing to national security objectives.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The UK Government has set its ambition to deliver 50Gw of green energy by 2030 delivered by numerous offshore windfarms that shall be built and commissioned during a rolling programme of works from 2025 and beyond. The fleet of UK Air Defence (AD) Radars are installed strategically around the UK and provide the Recognised Air Picture (RAP) enabling UK air defence system to identify non-cooperative targets within the UK area of interest, enabling the Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) in support to National Security Objective 1 (NSO1). Each of the future offshore windfarms will have a unique, detrimental impact upon the RAP as they will reduce the volume of air space that the AD radars can effectively survey, reducing the MOD's ability to deliver its tasks under NSO1. Programme NJORD (herein referred to as NJORD) has been established in response to a need for capabilities that will mitigate the negative impact introduced by offshore windfarms and maintain, the RAP at its full capability as established prior to the introduction of offshore windfarms. NJORD is an RAF programme with the procurement activity and contract management, through life for the capability / capabilities, being managed by the Air Defence and Electronic Warfare Systems (ADEWS) Delivery Team (DT) within Defence Equipment & Support as the RAF's delivery agent. To achieve this, NJORD shall focus on ensuring the continued Primary Surveillance capability currently provided by the RAF's air defence remote radar heads which would otherwise be degraded by offshore windfarms.
