This initiative falls under the industry category of "Warships" and will involve engaging with suppliers to understand market capabilities for components like Radar and Air Defence Systems. Key dates for market engagement are the 28th, 29th, and 30th of January 2025, with slots for virtual and face-to-face meetings available. These sessions will be conducted from Bristol, United Kingdom, with the procurement currently in the planning stage. This tender provides substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in shipbuilding, naval design, combat systems, and advanced technologies like AI and electronic warfare. Ideal candidates will be companies with capabilities in systems engineering, systems integration, and support services. Participating in this process allows businesses to showcase their products and innovations, positioning themselves as key suppliers to a transformative defence project aligned with the UK's future strategic defence initiatives. ## Notice This corrigendum has been published to rectify an issue with some of the booking links.
