Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, based in London, facilitated a procurement process for the "EUS(S) Transformation Team" project under the industry category of computer-related professional services. This procurement, with a value of £505,000, was conducted using a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement. The process has reached the 'Award' stage, with Apache iX, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) located in Bristol, identified as the supplier. The procurement specifically focused on the transformation of SECRET IT services, entering a period of Early Life Support (ELS) with the goal of achieving Full Operating Capacity by the end of the contract period, which runs from 4th November 2025 to 31st March 2026.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in professional computer services, particularly those qualified as SMEs. Participating businesses had the chance to contribute to a high-profile government transformation endeavour involving advanced IT services. Given the Ministry's reliance on a framework agreement and the targeting of SMEs, similar companies in the sector can view this contract as a strategic opportunity to establish credibility and position themselves as preferred suppliers for future government projects. Business growth is particularly promising for enterprises capable of delivering specialised IT services within structured project timelines.
