Market Engagement – Standing Joint Command (SJC) Integrated Physical Security Capability

Description

UK2 preliminary market engagement notice The Authority intends to engage with the market to inform the potential procurement of an integrated physical security capability. The Ministry of Defence (MOD) relies on a diverse and often legacy set of physical security technologies—including access control systems, CCTV, intrusion detection, and perimeter security solutions—to protect personnel, infrastructure, and sensitive assets across a wide and geographically dispersed estate. The current technology landscape is fragmented, with a variety of systems installed over time without consistent standards, interoperability, or integration. As threats become more complex, hybrid, and technologically advanced, the current physical security technology solution is not adequately positioned to deliver a coherent, scalable, and future-ready defence posture. We need an intelligent, standardised approach to deliver site specific, scalable, threat driven security system that enables national situational awareness, interoperability, resilience and efficiency across the MOD estate. The Authority is seeking market insight to help shape future requirements, delivery models and commercial strategy for a more coherent, integrated, technology-enabled and threat-led security capability. This preliminary market engagement is being conducted to: - Test and refine the problem definition and scope of solution - Understand market capability, innovation and interest - Inform the development of the Statement of Requirements and Outline Business Case - Shape the commercial approach, including cost modelling and scalability of solution
