# NATO Awards Calian Stavanger Training Contract

NATO awarded Calian Group Ltd. a five-year contract valued at approximately **CAD$47 million** on October 14, 2026, to develop and maintain training scenarios for the NATO Joint Warfare Centre in Stavanger, Norway. The award followed a competitive procurement and extends Calian’s existing role as prime contractor; it is a contract continuation, not a newly open solicitation.

- The work supports strategic- and operational-level exercises, including realistic collective-training and exercise-support scenarios.
- For contractors, the award signals continued NATO demand for scenario development and operational-readiness capabilities, while the incumbent extension means this specific award is not an immediate bid opportunity.
- Companies pursuing similar work can assess whether their exercise design, training support, and scenario-maintenance capabilities align with NATO’s requirements.
