Engagement

25 July 2025

Engagement process description

Following receipt of responses to the RFI (the RFI information can be found by clicking on the 'view related notices' section), the Authority is planning to hold a series of 1-2-1's with industry to explore in further detail areas covered by the RFI, including (but not limited to):

1. Innovation;

2. Charging;

3. Transition

4. Level Playing Field.

These 1-2-1 sessions will take place between the 4th -15th August 2025 and hosted over teams. A response to the RFI is not a prerequisite to being able to participate in the 1-2-1's, however it would be helpful to the Authority to have RFI responses if you have not completed one yet.

To register your interest and to book a time slot please contact us via email using the details in the Contracting Authority section of this notification. Places are limited and therefore the Authority reserves the right to cap the number of engagements. All interested parties should register your interest in attending by email to UKStratcomDD-CM-OSM-Mailbox@mod.gov.uk by 25th July 2025

Please note that for the avoidance of doubt, this notice is not a call for competition and companies who do not register their interest will still be free to participate in any future procurement. The Authority will publish further notices prior to launching any procurement.
