    Brief

    Defence Digital, part of the Ministry of Defence, intends to award an Enterprise Agreement Lite to Jane's Group UK Limited for the supply of software licenses to access Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) databases, taxonomies, and analysis tools. This three-year contracting mechanism will enable the Ministry of Defence to purchase and manage software licenses for OSINT capabilities. The Enterprise Agreement Lite provides a framework for flexible procurement of Janes' OSINT software solutions, including access to databases, taxonomies, and analytical tools required for defence intelligence operations. Suppliers should note this is a framework agreement for the provision of existing Janes software licenses rather than a competitive procurement, with a duration of 3 years from award.
