Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process was managed by the Ministry of Defence for "Sustainment of Software Support Services to MDA," focusing on technical support services within the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement was executed through a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement under the crown commercial services framework RM6235. The tender period concluded on 17th September 2025, and the contract was awarded on 18th September 2025. The Ministry of Defence, located on Whale Island, Portsmouth, acted as the buyer, while Metrea Mission Data Ltd, a large-scale supplier based in London, was the awarded supplier. The contract period is set to run from 1st November 2025 to 31st October 2028, with a total value of £8,610,000.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses operating in the technical support services sector, particularly those capable of delivering space-enabled and geospatial services. Although the framework agreement was selective, firms with a comprehensive service offering could explore similar future frameworks or related procurements. Companies seeking to establish or strengthen partnerships with government bodies, such as the Ministry of Defence, can gain valuable insights and build credentials by participating in such specialized tenders. Large businesses specialised in high-end technical services are well-suited to compete in this market space given the contract's scale and scope.
