## Summary

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has awarded a contract titled "Hadean EA Lite" under the industry category of Software package and information systems (CPV: 48000000). This procurement involves goods and has been conducted through a limited negotiation process without the publication of a contract notice, primarily for research and development purposes. The awarded contract, valued at up to £20,000,000, was signed on 20th November 2024. The project focuses on the AI-powered spatial computing platform provided by Hadean Supercomputing Limited, located in London, United Kingdom. This procurement process falls under the Award stage as of 21st November 2024, and the contracting authority reserves the right for an extension based on the original contract terms.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth within the technology and defence sectors, particularly for businesses specialising in advanced computing solutions, digital twins, and AI-powered environments. Companies capable of providing innovative R&D solutions could benefit significantly from such high-value procurement opportunities. The scope for an extension emphasises the MOD's commitment to long-term partnerships, making it an attractive proposition for firms looking to embed their technological solutions within the defence sector. The procurement method, focused on negotiated tendering, indicates that SMEs or companies with niche technology expertise in the defence domain would be well-suited to engage with such specialised contracting processes.

## Notice

The products and services that can be provided through this EA lite will meet the DSPCR R&D exemption and will not breach that scope. The contract value is up to PS20,000,000. As per regulation 16(1)(d)(ii) of The Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 - the Authority may request for an extension of this agreement for the services provided under the original contract.
