Exactly. Top intel for ALRT investors in that post at 17.49 last night by Tactical Stock. Great research. For ease I've pasted it below again for anyone that missed it (courtesy of Tactical Stock, with thanks):
..."Just spent a little bit of time going back through the timeline something I’d missed was the significance of the RNS announcing the Whitespace + Defence Holdings partnership for Defence Technologies that was released on 19 August 2025—just one day after the 18 August deadline for submitting bids to the MoD’s £900m DDAD framework. This timing strongly implies the partnership was formed to support a coordinated bid into the programme.
This led me to look at the tender process again:
Announcement and Engagement: The MOD announced the tender and hold a market conference on 1 August 2025.
Submission: Companies interested in bidding must have submitted their tenders by 18 August 2025.
Stage 1 – Initial Screening: First, companies answer a set of questions to show they meet basic requirements and are capable of doing the job. Only a set number of the best companies will go through to the next stage.
Stage 2 – Detailed Assessment: The selected companies are then asked more in-depth questions, including technical details, social value, presentations, and financial aspects. This stage is more focused and tailored to specific areas.
Stage 3 – Agreement and Award: The best-performing companies from Stage 2 will be offered a spot on the MOD’s supplier list after signing an official agreement.
Stage 4 – Actual Contracting (‘Call-Off’): When the MOD needs work done, they’ll run a quick competition among the approved suppliers. The supplier with the best offer, considering price and social value, gets the job.
Key dates from https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/043236-2025 include the tender notice on 1 August 2025, submission deadline on 18 August 2025 (RNS Whitespace + Defence Holdings 19th August 2025), and the estimated award decision on 31 October 2025.
If, as we are led to believe, Project Ixian was designed in conjunction with the MOD, I would be amazed if we don’t get through stage 2.
