Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has completed the procurement process for the "Cloud Technical Design Authority Service 2" contract, classified under IT services such as consulting, software development, Internet, and support. The contract was awarded on 30 January 2025 to Network Futures Limited, with a total value of GBP 4,000,000. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. Key dates include the tender period ending on 21 January 2025, with the contract period spanning from 1 February 2025 to 30 September 2025. The project aims to provide services across multiple locations, including the UK, Europe, and other global regions.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the IT services sector, particularly those specialising in cloud infrastructure and technical design. The sizeable contract value indicates significant work scope, which could result in considerable revenue and portfolio growth for the winning bidder. Since the procurement was selective, it favours firms that are pre-qualified within the framework, suggesting that this opportunity is ideal for well-established companies with a proven track record of delivering similar services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) were not earmarked as suitable for this tender, highlighting the advanced and specialised nature of the services required. This contract emphasises the importance of having robust capabilities in IT consultancy and cloud solutions.
