This framework is an eight-year procurement vehicle which provides central UK Government and wider public sector organisations with a streamlined route to procure specialist military-grade communications and information capabilities. It expands on the previous Lot 1c offering under the RM6116 Network Services 3 agreement to include hardware, software and associated design, implementation and support services.

RM6393 has been established to help customers access suppliers with the expertise, assurance, and capability required to deliver tactical communication and information systems in demanding environments. Acceptance onto the framework reinforces Drumgrange’s position as a trusted UK provider of secure, mission-focused communication solutions.

Lot 1 (Services) covers through-life support, field support, training, and system sustainment activities. This includes architecture design, network and system integration, test and evaluation, and related services that support the effective delivery and long-term operation of tactical communication systems.

Lot 2 (Systems) covers the quick deployment of secure mobile information and communications services and pre-integrated, multi-component packages that form key parts of a complete operational system.

Through the framework, customers can engage Drumgrange for capability and specialist support across the entire engineering lifecycle and across the DLODs for tactical communication systems.

“Lessons from the Ukraine War are changing UK Defence procurement. Technology is advancing at a rapid rate,” said Andrew Fergusson, Drumgrange’s Business Development Manager for Land systems. “As an SME, Drumgrange is agile in our ability to provide C5ISR services and systems and therefore welcome our selection onto the RM6393 Framework.”
