The supplier must have or be able to attain Facility Security Clearance (FSC) and their personnel will require Security Check (SC) to Secret-UK eyes only (SUKEO). This requirement is not open to overseas suppliers.

The service provider must demonstrate the processes and procedures they shall have in place for handling Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and SUKEO Performance data generated under the contract. Non-Disclosure agreements (NDAs) will be required between the SME and the suppliers of capabilities being assessed and procured under the separate EMDaD framework agreement (711279452), the service provider shall not be permitted to supply C-uAS EM DETECT and DEFEAT systems under the 711279452 framework.
