## Summary

The Ministry of Defence, located in London, spearheaded the procurement process titled "715130453 - RAPSTONE FPV Strike Tr2." This procurement primarily focuses on acquiring equipment for pilot training to deliver FPV STRIKE capabilities within the Field Army. Categorised under the goods industry, particularly involving unmanned combat aerial vehicles, this contract reflects an open procurement method, with the tender phase concluding on 16 July 2025. The contract was subsequently awarded in early September 2025 to Anartes Ltd, with a total contract value of £5,000,000, and it is set to conclude by September 2026, with possible extensions to 2027 if additional equipment is required.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in defence and security technologies, specifically those involved in unmanned aerial systems and related equipment. Companies with capabilities in developing, supplying, or supporting pilot training technologies can find growth opportunities by engaging in contracts of this nature. Larger firms with the ability to manage extensive supply chains and provide quality and cost-effective solutions, meeting the demanding criteria of security and defence projects, would be well-positioned to compete in similar tender processes. The open procedure employed in this procurement offers a transparent and structured environment, conducive to fair competition for businesses looking to expand their footprint in national defence sectors.
