Integrated Physical Security System for UK Ministry of Defence

The UK Ministry of Defence is seeking market engagement to develop an integrated physical security capability for the Standing Joint Command. The MOD currently operates fragmented physical security systems—including access control, CCTV, intrusion detection, and perimeter security—across a geographically dispersed estate without standardisation or interoperability. This fragmentation limits real-time information sharing, increases reliance on outdated legacy infrastructure, creates inconsistent protection levels, demands excessive manual personnel effort, and prevents effective data analysis for threat prediction and resource optimisation. The MOD requires a modernised, intelligent, and standardised physical security solution that delivers site-specific scalability, improved situational awareness, system interoperability, enhanced resilience, and operational efficiency. This market engagement will gather supplier insights to refine the problem statement, assess available capabilities and innovations, develop detailed requirements and a business case, and establish an appropriate commercial strategy for procurement and implementation across the Defence estate.
