The requirements are of a particularly sensitive nature and must ensure that any future capabilities are flexible, scalable and aligned with an evolving digital landscape and emerging threats to Border Security. Due to the sensitivities associated with the scope of OSINT requirements, details will only be released during the Market Engagement Event (date TBC) to those suppliers onboarded onto the Constellia Ltd Neutral Vendor Framework for Innovation (NVFi), further details below along with onboarding process. Whilst this framework requires ALL suppliers to be capable of handling Official Sensitive information there may still be a requirement for each supplier to enter into a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with Constellia prior to any Market Engagement Event. Constellia facilitates the Neutral Vendor Framework for Innovation (NVFi) by the UK's Ministry of Defence (MOD) to compliantly and transparently increase speed and value for money in digital and innovation procurement as part of the MOD's procurement reform. NVFi is an innovative commercial vehicle developed by Commercial X and the Defence Innovation Unit to accelerate the delivery of novel technological goods and services across government. The NVFi is a Marketplace of pre-accredited Technology Providers which the MOD and pan-government participators can access via Constellia to drive innovation at pace and scale.
