This will go live on 1st April 2021. The new service will be delivered under the name Futures Lab, powered by EDP, with the AEP working in collaboration with FCG to maximise innovation and exploitation of new technologies and capabilities   please visit: auroraengineeringpartnership.com

The EDP Hub on behalf of the @DefenceES Future Capability Group is pleased to announce that an amendment has been placed with the DE&S Engineering Delivery Partner; Aurora Engineering Partnership (AEP) to deliver a replacement to the former Niteworks Contract.

The NWR Tender process was unsuccessful. Alternatives being investigated. Unlikely to involve MOD administering NWR membership. Intention is to continue ethos of pan industry IP neutral advice. Until options are defined, unable to comment further. Thanks for supporting NWR.

The Ministry of Defence is pleased to announce that the NITEWORKS Replacement Invitation To Negotiate (ITN) was released to tenderers on 16 Nov 18. The ITN will not be shared with any other company. The names of tenderers have been published on Defence Contracts Online.

On 2 August 2018, a Niteworks Replacement Draft ITN was issued. It is expected that the final ITN will be issued early-September 2018.

It is anticipated that the Niteworks replacement Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) will be issued Mid-August 2018.
