News release

QinetiQ wins TacSys Resource Partner (TRP) contract with Defence Digital

 

11 October 2024

QinetiQ has won a three-year contract to provide Defence Digital with
engineering and programme expertise to help deliver the next generation of
tactical military communications. This contract is part of the Land
Environment Tactical Communications and Information Systems (LETacCIS)
Programme, which will enable the British Army to make better informed and more
timely decisions when operating on the front line.

 

The three-year contract has a potential value of £150 million with an initial
contract award of £39m and is with the UK's Ministry of Defence's (MoD)
Defence Digital organisation, which is responsible for ensuring the UK
military has access to effective digital products and services. The contract
also includes options for extensions for up to two further years.

 

Approximately 100 experts from the QinetiQ-led Team Advance* will join the
MoD-led Delivery Team and will be providing expertise in areas including
programme and project management, cost engineering, approvals, network,
security and safety engineering.

 

While this contract aims to deliver a new communications solution for use on
the front line, it follows QinetiQ's longstanding collaboration through its
predecessor contract, BATCIS Private Sector Support (BPSS), where QinetiQ -
alongside partners BMT, Roke and Eviden (then ATOS) - provided a range of
services including programme management, engineering, trials and training.

 

James Willis, Chief Executive UK Intelligence, QinetiQ, said: "In this digital
era, reliable and robust communications are the bedrock of an operationally
effective fighting force. As a trusted partner to the UK military we are
delighted to continue to support development and delivery of this vitally
important programme that enables our Armed Forces to defend our nation, safely
and securely."

 

Brigadier Jez Sharpe, Defence Digital, said: "We are delighted to be able
award this contract to Team Advance who, we are confident, will deliver the
expertise we need to take land tactical communications to the next stage. We
look forward to an enduring partnership as we bring capability to the hands of
our front line troops."
