Engagement process description

An Industry Engagement Day for the Core Applications and Management Service (CAMS) RFI was held on 28 January 2026 via Microsoft Teams. The purpose of the event was to provide an overview of the requirement and give potential suppliers an opportunity to ask questions. For transparency and to support all suppliers in preparing their responses, the presentation slides, event transcript, and Q&A from the session are now available at the following link: https://contracts.mod.uk/esop/guest/go/opportunity/detail?opportunityId=60690

Defence Digital has also published the recording of the Industry Day. The session provides valuable insight into the programme’s objectives, timelines, and approach, helping to break down barriers to entry and ensure all interested suppliers—large or small—have equal access to the information shared on the day.

By making this recording openly available, we’re committed to enabling a broader and more diverse market to contribute to shaping CAMS and to ensuring an inclusive and fair procurement process. The Industry Day recording can be found here: https://youtu.be/OQqN3QlPXFw

As requested during the event, we have also created a Supplier Register, which enables suppliers to view the contact details of those who attended and may support collaboration / partnerships for this RFI; this can be accessed via the following link: https://forms.office.com/e/UDBxdyQKJN
