Bluefruit Software is now registered on JOSCAR, making it easier for defence and aerospace organisations to engage our embedded software engineering teams.

What is JOSCAR?

JOSCAR is the Joint Supply Chain Accreditation Register, run by Hellios Information on behalf of a community of buyers in defence, security, and aerospace. Its members include the Ministry of Defence, BAE Systems, Babcock, Leonardo, Thales, Rolls-Royce Submarines, Raytheon UK, Roke, General Dynamics and Draken.

This supplier assurance system is used across the UK, providing participating buyers with a central source of validated supplier information, reducing duplicated pre-qualification and compliance processes when bringing new suppliers into the supply chain.

For Bluefruit, registration represents another important step in making our embedded software development and test expertise more accessible to prime contractors and their supply chains.

“In defence and aerospace, finding and onboarding new software suppliers can easily stretch into months of compliance reviews. JOSCAR registration removes much of that friction. Our security, compliance, and operational data are already available on the register, which means pre-qualification is behind us before the first conversation starts and tier-1 procurement teams can get straight to the engineering.”

James Bemrose – Strategic Partnerships Specialist, Bluefruit Software

Bluefruit works with organisations developing complex and safety-critical products, providing embedded software development, verification and validation, and specialist engineering teams.

Our JOSCAR registration means participating buying organisations can now access our supplier assurance information directly through the register, helping to simplify procurement and accelerate the route from initial conversation to project delivery.

For defence and aerospace organisations looking for additional embedded software capability, contact Bluefruit to discuss your requirements.
