The procurement process concluded with a contract award between June and July 2025, with the contract period running from 30th June 2025 to 31st March 2026.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities for companies experienced in data standards, exploitation, and computer audit services, specifically those classified as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which are explicitly suited for this type of work. Given the technical and security-focused nature of the project, companies specialising in data-centric security and zero trust concepts would find competing for similar future contracts particularly beneficial. Engaging with such strategic contracts could enhance an SME's capability in military-grade communication systems and interoperability services, positioning them for future government procurement opportunities.
