## Summary

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has awarded a contract to Leonardo UK LTD for "UK5 - Transparency Notice - 715882482 - Cyber Mission Data – Lot 2 (Cyber Data Product Delivery)". This procurement process, categorised under network management software services, involves direct award due to its critical nature in maintaining Defence's operational capability. The contract focuses on delivering cyber data products essential for identifying and responding to cyber threats against Defence. The procurement stage is complete, and the contract period spans from 13th July 2026 to 31st March 2027. The MoD’s headquarters are located in Corsham, UK, and key contact is Andrew Genery.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in cybersecurity and data analytics solutions, particularly those capable of transforming raw cyber data into actionable intelligence. Companies that can provide sophisticated tools and methodologies for enhancing national cyber detection and response capabilities would find this contract beneficial for business growth. The direct award signifies a need for immediate impact, implicating that large enterprises with proven track records in similar domains, like Leonardo UK LTD, are well-placed to compete for such opportunities. Furthermore, the MoD's intent to transition to a competitive procurement post the nine-month contract duration may present additional opportunities for businesses in the cybersecurity sector.

## Notice

The contract covers the delivery of cyber data products that support Defence in identifying and responding to cyber threats. The supplier is responsible for developing, testing, and maintaining tools and solutions that transform raw cyber data into actionable intelligence for cyber analysts. 1. Legal Basis This contract will be awarded in accordance with Section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023 (Direct Award in Special Cases), relying on Schedule 5, Paragraph 20. The Authority is satisfied that the contract is a defence authority contract and a defence and security contract, and that direct award is necessary to maintain the operational capability, effectiveness, readiness, and security of the armed forces. 2. Justification The expiry of the previous contracts has resulted in a material and ongoing degradation of Defence's cyber detection and response capability. A credible risk has consequently been identified that adversary cyber activity may go undetected or unmitigated, leading to disruption or denial of systems supporting command, communications, logistics, and operational planning. The resulting impact would be to degrade the ability of Defence to coordinate and execute operations effectively. In the most severe scenarios, this degradation could increase risk to personnel, including potential threat to life and limb. The Authority has therefore determined that immediate restoration of this capability by direct award of the proposed contract is necessary in order to maintain operational effectiveness and security of the armed forces. 3. Reasons for Limited Duration The contract term is 9 months, representing the minimum necessary time required for the Authority to undertake a separate competitive procurement procedure and transition to a future solution whilst maintaining operational capability, effectiveness and security and avoiding risk and disruption to Defence's cyber detection and response capability during this time. 4. Future Procurement The Authority intends to undertake a competitive procurement for this requirement. This notice signals that intent to the market. 5. This notice activates an 8 calendar day standstill period. On completion of the standstill (subject to contract and potential challenge/market questions), the Authority will progress contract agreement actions with the intent of entering into contract on the earliest date of the 09/07/2026.
