Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Defence Digital System Integration Capability (SInC) and Testing Centre of Excellence (TCoE)" was conducted by Digital Defence Limited, based in Northampton, England. This tender, classified under technical support services, aimed to streamline and modernise business processes within a secure, integrated test environment. The tender followed a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement, with the procurement stage reaching completion and the award made on 13th February 2025. The contract, valued at £1,889,260, commenced on the same date and will run until 31st March 2026, covering areas within the United Kingdom.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in technical support services, particularly those capable of providing end-to-end integration and testing solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be especially well-suited to compete, given the suitability criteria outlined, though the contract is not geared towards voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). As the procurement was carried out selectively, leveraging existing frameworks can offer strategic partnerships and growth potential for companies with robust integration capabilities. Trustmarque Solutions Ltd., awarded the contract, exemplifies the type of supplier well-equipped to deliver on such complex, technical requirements.
