## Summary

The Ministry of Defence, a central government public authority, has initiated the planning stage for Project VANAHEIM, involving the procurement of radios. This procurement falls under the industry category of radio, television, communication, telecommunication, and related equipment. The location for the delivery is within the United Kingdom. The direct award will be made via the CCS Framework RM6116 (Lot 1.c) to L3 Harris. The procurement is currently in the planning phase, with a future notice date set for 22 May 2025. The contract period is expected to start on 23 May 2025 and end on 23 May 2028, with a potential extension until 23 May 2030. The estimated contract value totals £1,400,000, and small and medium-sized enterprises are deemed suitable for participation in this procurement process.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in the supply of communication equipment, particularly those specialising in radio technology. The Ministry of Defence's procurement process underlines a lucrative chance for businesses to establish or strengthen their connections with a central government buyer. Companies that possess the capability to provide high-quality radio equipment and those positioned to deliver goods across the UK would find this opportunity appealing. The direct award strategy favours companies already recognised for their expertise and reliability in this sector, thus allowing businesses to leverage existing credentials and expand their portfolio within governmental contracts.
