Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured support services for SPCB, classified as computer support and consultancy services. The requirement is a services contract covering the provision of technical support and consultancy rather than the supply of physical goods or construction works. Delivery may take place across the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The buying organisation is the Ministry of Defence, with the commercial activity managed from its DDS&I Commercial function at Army Headquarters in Andover, England. The appointed supplier, Cloud Native Ltd, is a small or medium-sized enterprise specialising in cloud-native technology services.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. The Ministry of Defence selected Cloud Native Ltd through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 7 August 2026, following a tender submission deadline of 7 August 2026 at 5pm. The awarded value is £1,747,450 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2028. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the main procurement category was services. The available process information identifies computer support and consultancy as the service classification; no separate award scoring or weighting is stated.

For suppliers assessing future Ministry of Defence demand, this award demonstrates a requirement for specialist computer support and consultancy delivered across a wide geographic footprint, potentially including UK and overseas locations. A credible competitor would need the technical capability to provide dependable support and consultancy services, including the ability to operate in cloud-native environments and coordinate delivery across dispersed sites. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be met by a focused specialist rather than only by a large prime contractor. Suppliers should also understand how to access and compete through framework call-offs, and be able to demonstrate sufficient operational capacity, service resilience and experience supporting public-sector or defence technology environments.
