LA International wins multi-million pound framework contract to supply NATO Communications and Information Agency
LA International is pleased to announce that it has been selected by the NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency) as the only UK representative on a major new €350million Framework Agreement for the delivery of a wide range of technical and project-based capabilities.

Alongside a small number of other leading global organisations from the US, France, Germany and Belgium, LA International has been entrusted to meet NATO’s diverse capability requirements across areas such as Cyber Security, ICT, Military, Project Management, Engineering and Scientific skills.
Paul Lukic, CEO and Chairman of LA International stated, “The NCI Agency took the strategic decision to drive for better value for money across a framework of just 10 Suppliers worldwide, and to be the only UK supplier is a tremendous achievement They have selected LA International due to our market-leading expertise and track record in deploying large volumes of security cleared personnel into NATO and Military environments on a worldwide basis”.
