Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured services from a COGNOS developer for its BIWMS+ PowerApps requirement. The work is categorised as IT services, including consulting, software development, internet and support services. The stated requirement is for a COGNOS developer, indicating a need for specialist development capability in support of the buyer’s BIWMS+ and PowerApps environment. The procurement is for services rather than goods or construction works. Delivery is associated with the BS34 8JH postcode area. The buyer is the Ministry of Defence, a central government organisation, and the requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier, Intelligent Enterprise Products Ltd, is itself identified as an SME.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Intelligent Enterprise Products Ltd on 17 August 2026 for £100,000. The contract period runs from 4 September 2026 to 30 June 2027. The award is active, and the available contract information records a contract-signed document. The Ministry of Defence is the buyer. The published requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off route, with the procurement covering COGNOS developer services for the BIWMS+ PowerApps requirement. No separate award criteria or lot structure is stated in the procurement information.

This award demonstrates Ministry of Defence demand for specialist COGNOS development connected with BIWMS+ and PowerApps, delivered through a framework call-off. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would have demonstrable COGNOS development capability and the ability to work across business intelligence, software development and PowerApps-related environments. Experience of delivering IT consulting, software development and support services for a government or similarly complex organisation would strengthen credibility. The requirement was suitable for SMEs, so a smaller specialist technology business could compete where it can show relevant technical expertise, reliable delivery capacity and the ability to operate within a framework-based purchasing route. A credible competitor should be able to support the buyer’s specific COGNOS development need rather than offer general IT services alone.
