## Summary

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is conducting a market engagement exercise as part of its planning phase for the potential procurement of an integrated physical security capability, titled "Standing Joint Command (SJC) Integrated Physical Security Capability." This initiative focuses on the defence and security industry within the United Kingdom, specifically at an event in Aldershot on 1st July 2026. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a deadline for submitting suitability statements by 22nd June 2026. The MOD aims to gather information and insights from suppliers to address fragmented security technologies and improve interoperability, scalability, and threat resilience within their systems.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in security solutions, equipment, and services. Companies with strengths in complex integrated security systems, command and control platforms, and system interoperability are well-positioned to compete. Additionally, businesses experienced in modernising ageing infrastructure or with capabilities in multi-agency environments will find this opportunity beneficial. Participation in the market engagement event allows firms to showcase their innovation, provide insights into current market capabilities, and inform the MOD's future procurement strategy, offering potential growth and collaboration prospects.

## Notice

The Authority intends to engage with the market to inform the potential procurement of an integrated physical security capability. The Ministry of Defence (MOD) relies on a diverse and often legacy set of physical security technologies--including access control systems, CCTV, intrusion detection, and perimeter security solutions--to protect personnel, infrastructure, and sensitive assets across a wide and geographically dispersed estate. The current technology landscape is fragmented, with a variety of systems installed over time without consistent standards, interoperability, or integration. This fragmentation creates several critical issues: * Limited interoperability and integration: Existing systems typically operate in isolation, preventing real-time data sharing and a unified operational view of security across sites. This reduces situational awareness and slows decision-making during incidents. * Reliance on legacy infrastructure: Many systems are outdated, difficult to maintain or upgrade, increasing operational risk and lifecycle costs while reducing resilience against evolving threats. * Inconsistent capability across the estate: Variation in technology deployment results in uneven levels of protection * Inefficient use of personnel: Limited automation and integration places significant reliance on workforce-intensive processes, reducing efficiency and increasing the burden on already stretched security personnel. * Data underutilisation: Security data is collected but not effectively aggregated or analysed, limiting the MOD's ability to derive insights, predict threats, and optimise resource allocation. As threats become more complex, hybrid, and technologically advanced, the current physical security technology solution is not adequately positioned to deliver a coherent, scalable, and future-ready defence posture. We need an intelligent, standardised approach to deliver site specific, scalable, threat driven security system that enables national situational awareness, interoperability, resilience and efficiency across the MOD estate. The Authority is seeking market insight to help shape future requirements, delivery models and commercial strategy for a more coherent, integrated, technology-enabled and threat-led security capability. This preliminary market engagement is being conducted to: - Test and refine the problem definition and scope of solution - Understand market capability, innovation and interest - Inform the development of the Statement of Requirements and Outline Business Case - Shape the commercial approach, including cost modelling and scalability of solution

### Planning Information
