Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, located in Corsham, England, has concluded a procurement process for IT Hardware, specifically aimed at fulfilling the requirements of the DC2E Lab. This tender, falling under the industry category of office and computing machinery, equipment, and supplies, was carried out as part of a competition in the CCS Tepas 2 Lot 4 framework. The procurement went through its final stages in January 2026, with an award made on the 14th. The contract, valued at £807,996.92, will run from 14 January 2026 to 13 January 2027, covering delivery to the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement stage was completed with the award status described as active.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses that specialise in supplying IT hardware, particularly those with the capacity to handle large-scale government contracts, as evidenced by the current award to Centerprise International Limited. Although the tender wasn't explicitly suited for SMEs or VCSEs, companies in the office and computing machinery sector with a focus on government frameworks will find this process indicative of the operational scale and partnership potential with governmental bodies like the Ministry of Defence. Such engagements can provide significant growth in reputation and market reach for businesses aligned with these specific industry needs.
