The UK Ministry of Defence's (MoD's) Skynet Enduring Capability (SKEC) team is inviting industry to respond to a “pre-pre-qualification questionnaire” (Pre-PQQ) for the SKEC Wideband Satellite System (WSS), Defence Procurement announced on 5 June.

The Pre-PQQ is intended to confirm applicants' nationality and ‘facility security clearance' (FSC) status – a stipulated requirement that companies must obtain to handle classified information.

A deadline has been set for 28 Juneto respond to the Pre-PQQ.

SKEC seeks to deliver the next era of satellite communications (satcom) to the MoD. The SKEC WSS procurement programme is an element of this, which involves the design, manufacture, and delivery of up to three wideband geostationary orbit (GEO) satellite systems, associated ground equipment, and launch operations. The satellites will slowly replace the MoD's existing Skynet fleet from 2028 to 2036.
