          <description>
            <p>The Authority will deliver an in-person Market Engagement event on the 1st of July.</p>
            <p>The session is designed to ensure suppliers have a shared understanding of the strategic context, problem definition and high-level requirements, while creating space for initial engagement ahead of deeper interaction.</p>
            <p>Preliminary Agenda</p>
            <p>-	Event Introduction</p>
            <p>-	Strategic landscape and context</p>
            <p>-	Problem statement and ISM Strategy</p>
            <p>-	Programme Overview</p>
            <p>-	High-level requirements/capability needs</p>
            <p>-	Constraints and assumptions</p>
            <p>-	Interactive Engagement</p>
            <p>The agenda is subject to refinement and additional detail will be shared with attendees.</p>
            <p>Supplier Suitability Statement</p>
            <p>Interested suppliers are invited to submit a short suitability statement (up to 300 words) outlining:</p>
            <p>-	Relevant experience and capability in areas such as:</p>
            <p>o	Complex integrated security systems (physical + digital convergence if relevant)</p>
            <p>o	Multi-agency / multi-site environments</p>
            <p>o	Command &amp; control platforms or operational integration</p>
            <p>o	System interoperability / integration frameworks</p>
            <p>o	Modernisation of ageing infrastructure</p>
            <p>o	Threat-led or intelligence-driven security models</p>
            <p>-	Confirmation of security clearance </p>
            <p>Submissions will be assessed based on relevance of experience, demonstrated capability, and compliance with the requirements outlined above. Please return all responses via the Microsoft Form available at: https://forms.office.com/e/nSjw3h0HZk. The deadline for submissions is 22/06/2026 18:00. Attendance to the event must be in person on 01/07/2026 and it will be held in Aldershot GU11. Full details will be shared with invited Suppliers.</p>
            <p>Attendance is limited; the Authority reserves the right to select participants based on suitability and availability.</p>
            <p>After the event all Suppliers that submitted a suitability statement will have an opportunity to share feedback and insights via an industry facing front door. </p>
            <p>This notice is not a call for competition. It is a pre-procurement market engagement exercise conducted by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) for information-gathering purposes and does not constitute the commencement of a procurement under the Procurement Act 2023, nor any commitment to undertake a future procurement.</p>
            <p>Participation in this event, including submission of a suitability statement and any subsequent engagement, will not confer any preferential treatment or unfair advantage in any future procurement. The MOD will ensure compliance with the principles of the Procurement Act 2023, including transparency, equal treatment, non-discrimination, and integrity.</p>
            <p>The Authority reserves the right to consider supplier engagement with this notice when developing any future procurement and associated selection criteria</p>

        <title>Standing Joint Command (SJC) Integrated Physical Security Capability</title>
        <description>
          <p>The Authority intends to engage with the market to inform the potential procurement of an integrated physical security capability.</p>
          <p>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.</p>
          <p>This fragmentation creates several critical issues:</p>
          <p>•	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.</p>
          <p>•	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.</p>
          <p>•	Inconsistent capability across the estate: Variation in technology deployment results in uneven levels of protection</p>
          <p>•	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.</p>
          <p>•	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.</p>
          <p>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. </p>
          <p>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.</p>
          <p>This preliminary market engagement is being conducted to:</p>
          <p>-	Test and refine the problem definition and scope of solution</p>
          <p>-	Understand market capability, innovation and interest</p>
          <p>-	Inform the development of the Statement of Requirements and Outline Business Case</p>
          <p>-	Shape the commercial approach, including cost modelling and scalability of solution</p>
