What the notice says

The Design and Systems Integration partner will act as the custodian of the TacNet design on behalf of the Ministry of Defence (MOD), fulfilling many of the functions traditionally done by a technical Design Authority (DA) whilst the MOD maintains ultimate control over the system design. It will also manage the integration of additional situational awareness capabilities and equipment into the TacNet “family” of capabilities, maintaining impartiality and distance from third party suppliers who may form part of the supply chain.

How to bid

  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
