Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Janes Bridging Year Enterprise Agreement: 2025 - 2026" has been conducted by the Ministry of Defence (MOD), based in Wiltshire, England. This process falls under the industry category of "Database software package," with the aim to acquire both online and offline information resources due to the MOD’s lack of in-house capability. The contract, valued at £5,250,000, covers locations such as British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and further afield. The tender, now in the award stage, was conducted through a limited procurement method, specifically a negotiated procedure without prior publication. The contract runs from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, with the award being finalised on 25th April 2025.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in database software solutions, particularly those capable of providing both online and offline data access services. The limited procurement method demonstrates a strategic partnership, making it suitable for large-scale suppliers with specialized capabilities like Jane's Group Limited, the awarded supplier. SMEs have been indicated as suitable for such opportunities, despite the specific requirements of this contract. Companies looking to engage with the MOD could explore possibilities to align their offerings with the needs of major projects that require robust and secure data delivery solutions. The focus on defence highlights a niche market where expertise in handling sensitive and comprehensive data is invaluable.

Notice Description

JANES is a vast database of world-wide Defence capabilities and forces. It is the foundation upon which many intelligence products and reports are built. This information can be accessed either on-line, via a web-based portal, or distributed via digital media and ingested onto systems that may have restricted or no internet access. The Defence requires both on-line and off-line sources. The MOD (Ministry of Defence) derives significant benefit from JANE's information resources as it has no in-house capability to produce such material.
