    "description": "This is a Voluntary Transparency Notice for the proposed Contract 713095450 - MHC Block 2 Remote Command Centre (RCC) Integration and Supply.\r\n\r\nThe requirement for the Authority\u0027s MHC team covers:\r\n1. The requirement to integrate the currently disparate and separately controlled range of key MHC platforms and autonomous capabilities into the Thales MMCM RCC to deliver a single, unified RCC, thereby allowing integrated command, control and operation of the full range of MHC platforms, systems and sub-systems.\r\n2. The potential provision of additional unified RCCs - to the same or slightly amended specification.\r\n3. The provision of associated software, training and SME technical advice in support of the integration activities and wider MHC capability delivery.\r\n\r\nThis notice is not a request for expressions of interest so please do not apply to be invited to tender. This notice advises that the Authority has decided to negotiate a contract with Thales UK Ltd on a Single Source QDC basis and is published for the purpose of transparency. If you are interested in becoming a sub-contractor for this requirement, you should apply directly to the supplier named within this notice.\r\n\r\nThis UK MoD/DE\u0026S procurement was initiated before the Procurement Act 2023 was introduced, and therefore the DSPCR 2011 regulations are applicable.",
