The contract has an estimated value of £18M and a duration of 2 years and 9 months. It is considered that the award of this contract without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service (as required by the relevant legislation) is lawful in accordance with Regulation 7(1)(a) of the Defence and Security Public Contract Regulation (DSPCR) 2011 for national security reasons.
