Calling notice for the Royal Navy's Maritime Enterprise Planning Groups February 2021 - Digital and Data

The complex problem set faced by the Royal Navy in the modern operating environment calls for a closer alignment with industry. This is required in order to both understand mutual requirements and to pursue transformative capability that will deliver operational advantage in a more agile way.

The inauguration of Maritime Enterprise Planning Groups, aligned to the Royal Navy Capability Planning Groups, will provide a means to have open and honest dialogue with industry. Set within commercial guidelines, they will bring together military and defence industry capability experts on a periodic basis to assist in resolving problem-led procurement questions.

Nothing in this notice, the MEPG sessions, or any other engagements with Industry prior to a formal procurement process, shall be construed as a representation as to the Authority's ultimate decision in relation to future requirements.

Please see the attached document at the bottom of this page for further information, including instructions for requesting to attend the sessions.
