    This notice is not associated with any procurement activity at this point and is solely for the purposes of running a Market Interest Session. It is our intention to hold an early market engagement event on the 6 July 2023 to discuss MERCURY’S approach to 2035 Capability Challenges, launch of our Communities of Interest, Commercial activity, our key priorities, and our expectations of suppliers that we collaborate with. MERCURY will also use the opportunity to gather intelligence from providers which may influence and inform the programme’s technical and commercial approach and opportunity to shape the programme processes and commercial strategy and wider opportunities. The Market Interest Day will be the formal launch of our Communities of Interest (COI) to support in the shaping of the Capability Challenge Problem Set, 2035 Roadmap, and subsequent Capability Challenge Pipeline Statement of Requirement (SOR) in preparation for our framework launch. MERCURY encourages Industry, Academia and S&T partners to register their interest to attend this event in order to join relevant COIs. This session will be a conference style face to face event, broadcast via Microsoft Teams, with an interactive means to answer questions via Slido. All questions gathered throughout the day will be answered and distributed after the event. Please register your interest through our Microsoft Teams form by Monday 19th June 2023 through Mercury Market Interest Day Registration (Link: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=7WB3vlNZS0iuldChbfoJ5ehE6bnLBbRNq7idDg9PE1xURUJZQlhJNVo0QTFZMVVHN1VDWjhNTVJaOC4u ), or contact us through our commercial team: DES-FCG-TeamMercury@mod.gov.uk. An invite will be sent out two weeks prior to the event confirming further details and the location (requiring review after unprecedented demand). This will also include the agenda for the day, and the Microsoft Teams Link.
