What the notice says
The LDC4 programme consists of multiple projects with the aim of delivering the next generation of tactical military communications in the land environment and providing the means to make informed and timely decisions, enabled by agile Communication Information Systems (CIS). The programme also includes projects that have already delivered equipment into service.
The LDC4 Programme and TacSys Service Executive Teams, part of the UK Ministry of Defence, are jointly seeking to engage with suppliers via an Industry Day on 19 February 2026. The purpose of this engagement is to update the market on the current programme, explore key challenges and opportunities, and gain a clearer understanding of current market capabilities and offerings which may be relevant to how we will need to deliver our capabilities in the future. The event will be held online, to register your interest please respond by completing the Microsoft Form in the link below by 23:59 on the 13 February 2026.
