The procurement falls under the "defence security" category, reflecting the strategic importance of the SOCET licenses for training purposes. The process, currently marked as complete, employed a direct award method due to the unique intellectual property rights held by the supplier, BAE. Significant dates in the procurement process include a start date for the contract period on 1 November 2025, with completion expected by 30 October 2027. The procurement carries an estimated value of £329,640, with the gross amount reaching £412,050. This tender offers growth opportunities for businesses specialising in defence software and support services, particularly those with expertise in providing strategic training solutions. Companies with existing strategic partnerships with government agencies or unique intellectual property in defence-related technology will find this tender particularly suitable.
