The UK s Ministry of Defence has awarded Boeing Defence UK a £500m contract without external competition to replace fragile and ageing legacy systems it had already been charged with swapping out as part of a 2010 contract.
Any lack of availability would fundamentally impact the UK Armed Forces ability to operate effectively around the globe, according to a tender notice published today.
The extension with Boeing relates to the Future Logistics Information Services (FLIS) project, an £800m contract set out by the government in 2010 to deliver an operationally essential logistics information system.
