It involves a Request for Information (RFI) titled "Joint C-UAS Office (JCO) Security Briefing Day," scheduled for 3rd November 2025 at RAF High Wycombe, within the Spitfire Auditorium. This event will focus on UAS/C-UAS activities, providing an overview for industry partners. Interested parties must express their interest by 17th October 2025 to attend, noting that each company is limited to one representative, who must hold current Security Clearance. This initiative aims to collect expressions of interest from potential providers, though it does not mark the commencement of formal procurement activities. This briefing represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in military electronic systems, command, control, communication and computer systems, intelligence, and electronic warfare systems. Firms that possess the requisite security clearance and have expertise in these fields can benefit greatly by participating, networking, and gaining early insights into upcoming activities and developments in the sector. Businesses equipped with innovative solutions in these areas would be well-placed to join this initiative, facilitating collaboration and potentially preparing for future tender opportunities. The event provides a platform for businesses to position themselves favourably for impending opportunities within the defence procurement landscape. ## Notice The intent of this RFI is to provide notification of a planned SECRET UK EYES ONLY (SUKEO) Security Briefing Day which will outline and advise Industry Partners on UAS/C-UAS activity on Ops and within the UK Homeland. This RFI does not constitute the start of any procurement activity or resultant contract - it is for information only, to inform Industry on the latest C-UAS developments. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Briefing is scheduled to be held at RAF High Wycombe, Mon 3 Nov 25, within the Spitfire Auditorium located on Site 1. It is planned to take place between 1300-1600, consisting of several briefs with time for questions and discussion as required. The planned dates are subject to change, further briefings beyond this date will be arranged at the discretion of the Authority. This RFI will be utilised by the Authority to collect Expressions of Interest from potential providers who wish to take part in the Security Briefing. The Authority requests that potential providers express their organisations interest to attend the Security briefings to register via the following multi-user email address: Air-Joint-CUAS-Office@mod.gov.uk, using the subject heading 'JCO Security Briefing Day'. Interested parties wishing to attend the event on Mon 3 Nov 25 should respond no later than Fri 17 Oct 25; any response received post this deadline will not be accepted. Industry attendance is limited to one attendee per company on an enterprise basis with the requirement for confirmation of extant Security Clearance. To attend the Security Brief, all personnel will require Security Clearance at SC and have no restrictions attached to their clearance. To ensure relevant passes can be requested by the host, when expressing an interest, potential providers must provide the following information: * Title/Rank (as applicable) * Full Name * Company * Nationality * Security Clearance details including Date of Birth (to be provided by the Company Security Officer) * Email address of attendee (for pre-briefing correspondence) * Vehicle Make, Model, Colour and VRN (if visiting via car) * Following feedback from previous Security Briefing Days, a summary (approx. 100-200 words) of your company/organisation. These will be collated into a 'Who's Who' of attendees to enable collaboration. (Optional) Following completion of the Expression of Interest period, the Security Briefing agenda, arrival instructions and attendee requirements will be issued. The final discretion for any attendees at the briefing event will rest with the Authority and due to the limit on numbers, Expression of Interest does not automatically guarantee a place. For any interested parties without extant Security Clearance that wish to attend either this or subsequent events the Authority may be able to offer an alternative briefing at a classification of Official. Any parties requiring advice on this matter should contact Air-Joint-CUAS-Office@mod.gov.uk giving brief details of previously held clearances (if any) and further guidance will be provided. This will be at the Authorities discretion. Additional information: This advertised Security Brief does not indicate any formal intention by the Authority to enter into a tender/bid process and does not represent any formal commitment. All costs associated with attending the Briefings are the sole responsibility of the respondent. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053008-2025 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Sep 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Sep 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF DEFENCE | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Not specified | | Postcode | N/A | | Country | Not specified | | ITL 1 | Not specified | | ITL 2 | Not specified | | ITL 3 | Not specified | | Local authority | Not specified | | Electoral ward | Not specified | | Westminster constituency | Not specified | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 35 - Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment ### Codes - 35700000 - Military electronic systems - 35710000 - Command, control, communication and computer systems - 35720000 - Intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance - 35730000 - Electronic warfare systems and counter measures ## Release History - 2 Sep 2025 at 08:49 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053008-2025 ## Notice URLs - https://des.mod.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
