Details
This Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) competition is seeking proposals that can make a real-world difference, fast and at scale. We are looking for scalable proposals, designed for manufacture, at market-leading prices, that can be demonstrated in a relevant environment three months from the date of contract in support of future contracting decisions.
This is a rapid, multiple cycle competition. The competition will run for three cycles, open continuously from 18 July until 3 December 2024. Proposals submitted by the cycle deadline will follow the DASA “How your proposal will be assessed” process with contracting immediately afterwards for successful proposals.
DASA reserves the right to amend challenge areas between cycles as operational needs evolve.
Further to this multiple cycle DASA competition, viable proposals may be taken to higher TRLs and/or manufacture phase by the Authority (Secretary of State for Defence, acting on behalf of the Crown).
In this circumstance the Authority will undertake appropriate procurement activity to ensure value for money and subject to any applicable Regulations that may pertain.
