Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the scope was of Project SERAPH.

Project SERAPH was a concept, assessment and demonstrator project that evaluated options for establishing an enterprise-level solution at the tactical layer.

Its scope encompassed a range of digital and cyber capabilities in support of key Defence programmes, alongside associated governance, assurance and engineering activities.

Following a review of the programme, the supporting contract with Deloitte was terminated for convenience in accordance with its contractual provisions, and the Department transitioned to an alternative delivery model.
