The Ministry of Defence has launched preliminary market engagement for Project SENSOREM, an effort to deliver scalable surveillance and security capability across Defence sites.
A notice published by Defence Equipment and Support on 12 May 2026 invites proposals from industry to deliver what the MoD describes as “a scalable and sustainable Defence site surveillance capability” as part of “a wider MOD effort to improve site protection and critical infrastructure through the integration of modern, technology enabled security solutions.”
The engagement deadline is 11 June 2026, with a tender notice also estimated for publication on the same date. The estimated contract period runs from September 2026 to September 2029.
The notice makes clear that the preliminary market engagement does not constitute a commitment to proceed with a formal procurement. The MoD has stated that the process will be managed “in an open and transparent manner, ensuring that participation or non-participation in the Preliminary Market Engagement will not give advantages or disadvantages to any supplier, nor impact their eligibility for future procurement processes.”
All information provided by respondents will be treated as commercially sensitive.
Suppliers wishing to participate are asked to submit responses in PDF format to a dedicated MoD commercial mailbox by close of play on 11 June 2026, with late submissions subject to rejection at the authority’s sole discretion.
How about reversing the cuts on Modplod install security cameras etc and employ people who will be around for a lot longer that a couple of years where the whole contract looks like it will go out to tender again! This way all yo will get is a few bods with an SAI license and no interest in the job whatsoever!
