Scope
Description
The LDC4 programme consists of multiple projects with the aim of delivering the next generation of tactical military communications in the land environment and providing the means to make informed and timely decisions, enabled by agile Communication Information Systems (CIS). The programme also includes projects that have already delivered equipment into service.
The LDC4 Programme and TacSys Service Executive Teams, part of the UK Ministry of Defence, are jointly seeking to engage with suppliers via an Industry Day on 19 February 2026. The purpose of this engagement is to update the market on the current programme, explore key challenges and opportunities, and gain a clearer understanding of current market capabilities and offerings which may be relevant to how we will need to deliver our capabilities in the future. The event will take place at the Blenheim Conference Centre, Waterloo Lines, Warminster BA12 0DJ, to register your interest please respond by completing the Microsoft Form in the link below by 23:59 on the 28 January 2026.

The event will consist of plenary sessions in the morning with presentations from senior members of the LDC4 Programme and Defence Digital. These will provide attendees with an overview of the programme, high-level requirements, and high-level timescales.
A series of focus groups will be held in the afternoon where attendees will be invited to discuss a number of different topics which are pertinent to being able to deliver our capabilities in the future.
Within the booking form attendees are requested to select which focus group/s they wish to attend. We particularly welcome attendance in those groups from attendees who have an interest or expertise in these focus areas to support the discussions.
Please note that due to capacity constraints at the venue, we reserve the right to limit participation at this event.
For the avoidance of doubt, this notice is not informing the market of an imminent procurement.
