## Summary

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, located in Salisbury, United Kingdom, has completed a direct award tender titled "Time Sensitive Networking Training." This procurement falls under the industry category of training services and relates to the deployment of the innovative TSN protocol. The tender has entered the award stage as of 25th June 2025, with a contract period beginning on 1st August 2025 and concluding on 31st December 2025. The procedure was expedited due to the unique nature of the required training, available predominantly from a single provider, GE Aviation Systems Limited, located in Cheltenham.

This contract presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in networking protocol training, particularly those with capabilities or interests aligned with cutting-edge technologies. Although GE Aviation Systems Limited has been identified as the supplier due to its development of the specific experimental research rig, other businesses in training and technical innovation might consider tailoring similar services to future needs or stages. Moreover, suppliers with expertise in government contracts or niche technology solutions may find potential in navigating exclusive rights scenarios for strategic advantage.

## Notice

Training on the (TSN) protocol is required to enable its use and analysis on a recently delivered system. Dstl has no internal experience or training material on this contemporary networking protocol.

### Procurement Information

The training is on a unique experimental research rig implementing the draft TSN 802.1DP and only available from GE who developed the rig which itself was a single source purchase.
