SCS has signed a contract with the UK Ministry of Defence to provide training and exercise support to Joint Forces Command (JFC). The contract, worth £9.7 million, will run from April 2016 for two years.
The contract will see SCS provide a comprehensive support service for the design, development and delivery of command post exercises and computer-assisted exercises in combined and joint environments at an operational level.
This will include the provision of a full exercise scenario scripting capability; the design, installation and delivery of a full exercise planning and management communications information systems capability; and the provision and manning of a joint simulation system.
Additionally, the company will continue to provide a highly advanced contingent capability reporting and standards system and exercise mentoring and reporting capability as well as a new defence exercise planning tool.
Brigadier Peter Cameron, Deputy Director of Joint Warfare, said: ‘I am delighted that JFC's long standing relationship with SCS is set to continue for another two years. My team are equally really looking forward to continuing to work with the pool of talented individuals that SCS bring to the table and utilising the support they proffer in delivering 'best of class' joint exercises. I am confident, as it has been hitherto, that the SCS joint warfare support team will remain at the core of this delivery and pivotal to the exercises' part in the optimisation of the joint force.'
Options to extend the contract for a further two years are included.
