Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured quality assurance services to support defence developer services. This is an IT consulting and support requirement, covering quality assurance activity connected with software development and related developer services. Delivery was associated with MOD Corsham, Westwells Road, Corsham, in the South West of England. The contracting category is services. The requirement is relevant to businesses providing software quality assurance, testing, technical assurance, development support or related IT consultancy for defence or other highly controlled environments. It may also suit suppliers able to work with government development teams and support the assurance of technology services delivered from or through the Ministry of Defence’s Corsham operation.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was run as a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 25 May 2026 at 5:00pm. The contract was awarded on 26 May 2026 to TXP Technology Limited for £52,270 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period ran from 26 May 2026 to 30 June 2026. The award is active. The published procurement data identifies the Ministry of Defence as the buyer and quality assurance support for defence developer services as the contracted requirement. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not identified as suitable for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible competitor would need demonstrable quality assurance capability supporting software development and defence developer services, together with the governance, documentation and technical discipline expected in a Ministry of Defence environment. Experience of working with public-sector or defence development teams would strengthen a supplier’s position, particularly where assurance must be integrated into delivery rather than provided as a standalone review. Suppliers would also need access to appropriately skilled testers, quality engineers, technical assurance specialists and delivery managers, with enough capacity to support a short, focused engagement. Framework access or a route into the relevant framework would be commercially important for competing through the same call-off method.
