Joint C-UAS Office (JCO) Security Briefing Day Request for Information (RFI)

Description

The intent of this RFI is to provide notification of a planned SECRET UK EYES ONLY (SUKEO) Security Briefing Day which will outline and advise Industry Partners on UAS/C-UAS activity on Ops and within the UK Homeland. This RFI does not constitute the start of any procurement activity or resultant contract - it is for information only, to inform Industry on the latest C-UAS developments. Lot 1: The Briefing is scheduled to be held at RAF High Wycombe, Mon 3 Nov 25, within the Spitfire Auditorium located on Site 1. It is planned to take place between 1300-1600, consisting of several briefs with time for questions and discussion as required. The planned dates are subject to change, further briefings beyond this date will be arranged at the discretion of the Authority. This RFI will be utilised by the Authority to collect Expressions of Interest from potential providers who wish to take part in the Security Briefing. The Authority requests that potential providers express their organisations interest to attend the Security briefings to register via the following multi-user email address: Air-Joint-CUAS-Office@mod.gov.uk, using the subject heading ‘JCO Security Briefing Day’. Interested parties wishing to attend the event on Mon 3 Nov 25 should respond no later than Fri 17 Oct 25; any response received post this deadline will not be accepted. Industry attendance is limited to one attendee per company on an enterprise basis with the requirement for confirmation of extant Security Clearance. To attend the Security Brief, all personnel will require Security Clearance at SC and have no restrictions attached to their clearance. To ensure relevant passes can be requested by the host, when expressing an interest, potential providers must provide the following information: • Title/Rank (as applicable) • Full Name • Company • Nationality • Security Clearance details including Date of Birth (to be provided by the Company Security Officer) • Email address of attendee (for pre-briefing correspondence) • Vehicle Make, Model, Colour and VRN (if visiting via car) • Following feedback from previous Security Briefing Days, a summary (approx. 100-200 words) of your company/organisation. These will be collated into a ‘Who’s Who’ of attendees to enable collaboration. (Optional) Following completion of the Expression of Interest period, the Security Briefing agenda, arrival instructions and attendee requirements will be issued. The final discretion for any attendees at the briefing event will rest with the Authority and due to the limit on numbers, Expression of Interest does not automatically guarantee a place. For any interested parties without extant Security Clearance that wish to attend either this or subsequent events the Authority may be able to offer an alternative briefing at a classification of Official. Any parties requiring advice on this matter should contact Air-Joint-CUAS-Office@mod.gov.uk giving brief details of previously held clearances (if any) and further guidance will be provided. This will be at the Authorities discretion. Additional information: This advertised Security Brief does not indicate any formal intention by the Authority to enter into a tender/bid process and does not represent any formal commitment. All costs associated with attending the Briefings are the sole responsibility of the respondent.
