Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) procured a parliamentary and Freedom of Information (FOI) case management system, including software supply services (CPV 72268000). The system supports the MOD’s handling of parliamentary business, FOI requests and data protection obligations, including compliance with the Freedom of Information Act 2000, Data Protection Act 2018 and UK GDPR, as well as ministerial accountability and transparency commitments. The buyer is the MOD; the contracted service is associated with London. The requirement is for a case management system to support the department’s statutory and wider information-handling responsibilities.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Fivium Limited through a direct award call-off from the RM6259 Vertical Application Solutions framework. The award date was 30 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £1,265,508, with a contract period from 30 September 2026 to 29 September 2028. The published tender response deadline was 29 September 2026. The process is categorised as a selective procurement method and as services. The award records one supplier and one contract; no lots are identified. The procurement was framed around supplying a case management system for parliamentary casework, FOI requests and data protection compliance. The published data does not state evaluation criteria for this framework call-off.

For suppliers of case management software, this award demonstrates MOD demand for a system that handles parliamentary business, FOI requests and data protection casework within a central government department. A credible competitor would need a software product and delivery capability suited to supporting statutory information-handling obligations, ministerial accountability and transparency commitments. The selected provider is a small or medium-sized enterprise, and the procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that this requirement was not limited to large suppliers. The contract documents include schedules covering ICT services, security, business continuity and disaster recovery, processing data, continuous improvement and exit management. Suppliers able to deliver and support secure, resilient case-management services in a government environment would therefore be well placed to compete when this specific requirement returns to the MOD.
