POYNTING will deliver a first-in-class tactical CEMA Capability to Land Forces. The project is aligned with the Army Executive Committee endorsed Army Cyber Sub-Strategy and is to be delivered as part of the Land CEMA Programme (LCP). This capability will grow with the pace of change in global technology and adapt to global threats. The selected Prime will establish and manage an ecosystem of suppliers to deliver hardware and software and system integration of the CEMA capability. The Prime will manage the Ecosystem to deliver, through Capability Interventions, a capability that meets the system requirements. Subject to internal approval, the POYNTING Contract will deliver and support equipment sufficient to field a Squadron sized CEMA unit. The scope of support requirement includes but is not limited to: Equipment design, installation, repair and maintenance, spares provisioning, calibration, test and validation, experimentation and capability evolution, design safety, contractor logistics support, security accreditation, capability resilience, reliability, documentation management, through life updates and upgrades, and ad-hoc tasking. Ad-hoc tasking includes, but is not limited to, repairs, post-design services (PDS) and the procurement of additional systems, components, spares, and support. A more detailed description of the POYNTING contract requirements is contained in the OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE Contract Notice; guidance on how to access this OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE Contract Notice, along with the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) and associated documentation, can be found below. The Cyber Risk level for this procurement is HIGH. The Risk Assessment Reference (RAR) is RAR- 266340629. A full description of the Cyber Risk levels is available at DEFSTAN 05-138. Potential Suppliers should make themselves familiar with the requirements against the profile assessment for this risk level.

The value of the Contract is estimated to be between £78m and £148m. The lower figure is based on a four (4) year term, excluding Options. The higher figure represents a value inclusive of all four (4) Capability Interventions and all four (4) Option years. The final Contract value may be below the lower figure. The higher figure is an estimate of core activity and tasks placed under the Contract, and the total cumulative value of work placed through the Contract may be above or below this figure. The Authority reserves the right to procure additional systems, components, spares, and support provisioning through this Contract should the requirement arise.
