MOD Digital and Data Commercial: Networks and Communications – industry update

Participation will be capped at two per company.

MOD National Armaments Digital and Data Commercial and Industry – Networks and Communications team will host an industry roundtable on 2 October 2026, bringing together key suppliers and partners to discuss opportunities to drive greater efficiency, innovation and value across the Defence communications landscape.

Session overview

As Defence continues to evolve to meet an increasingly complex and contested operating environment, the MOD must be able to sense, understand and respond to opportunities and threats at pace. Delivering this ambition relies on resilient, secure and interconnected digital services that enable data-driven decision-making and seamless collaboration across Defence, government, allies and partners.

The roundtable will provide an opportunity for industry and MOD to discuss emerging trends, market insights and innovative approaches across the Fixed Networks, Voice, Video and Mobile Communications domains. The discussion will focus on how Defence and industry can work together to improve outcomes, enhance capability, strengthen resilience and identify opportunities for greater commercial and operational efficiencies.

As part of the National Armaments Director Group, the Networks and Communications team is particularly interested in exploring opportunities to aggregate demand, maximise value from strategic supplier relationships, and accelerate the delivery of benefits across Defence.

This event is not intended to focus on individual procurement opportunities, although an overview of the current and future portfolio will be provided. Instead, the emphasis will be on collaborative engagement to help shape category strategy, inform future planning and support the delivery of Defence-wide outcomes. A detailed agenda will be circulated in due course.
