Notice: Competition: Innovation Support to Operations (Cycle 8)

This UK Defence Innovation (UKDI) themed competition is looking for innovative proposals that are cost competitive, designed for manufacture, and can be scaled in an approximate twelve-month timeframe.

This is Cycle 8 of a multiple cycle competition.  Proposals submitted will follow the UKDI “How your proposal will be assessed” process with contracting immediately afterwards for successful proposals.

UKDI reserves the right to change or close the competition without launching further cycles.

Outputs from funded projects may be considered for further development or procurement, subject to contract. In this circumstance the Authority (Secretary of State for Defence, acting on behalf of the Crown) will undertake appropriate procurement activity to ensure value for money and subject to any applicable regulations that may be applicable.
