Weekly tender intelligence for defense & security procurement Published by Vectis Intelligence, Amden, Switzerland

Lead Signal

Estonia signals major counter-drone investment with a €29.9M procurement for drone defense equipment and maintenance from the Police and Border Guard Board — the largest single C-UAS contract this week. Meanwhile, the US demonstrates sustained commitment to CUAS capabilities with $119M in counter-unmanned systems support from SAIC and $117M for the SPDRACR program to Raytheon. This coordinated investment across NATO allies reflects growing recognition that counter-drone capabilities require both acquisition and long-term sustainment strategies, not just one-off equipment purchases.

The nuclear sector shows unusual activity with Great British Energy-Nuclear procuring evaluation software just months after its establishment, while the UK's massive £4.6B Decommissioning Nuclear Waste Partnership award to Sellafield Limited represents one of the largest procurement values tracked this year — suggesting accelerated decommissioning timelines ahead of new nuclear programs.
