This procurement falls under the Systems and Technical Consultancy Services category, specifically for providing a workforce of Suitably Qualified Experienced Personnel (SQEP) to act as the specialist advisor and test and integration partner. The aim is to integrate Identity components/services/systems with the MOD NETWORK OFFICIAL (MNO), using NetIQ tooling. The contract, worth £3,166,335, was awarded to MASTEK UK LIMITED. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement.
