The Open Call exists to offer suppliers the opportunity to submit their ideas to defence and security stakeholders.
The Open Call welcomes innovations that address any defence challenge, or innovations that address security challenges where there is a relevant security Innovation Focus Area (IFA). Please see some examples of work we have funded here.
The Open Call is open for proposals all year round, with assessment dates scheduled across the year. More information on assessment dates can be found on GOV.UK website.
