Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has completed a procurement process for subscribing to 3-year licences in the category of subscription services. The tender, titled "Subscription Licenses," falls under the CPV code 79980000 and has a total value of GBP 408,600. The procurement utilised a "Single Source" method and was managed by the Ministry of Defence in Aldermaston, Reading, England. The procurement process concluded with the award status being active since 17th July 2024. The contract period runs from 22nd July 2024 to 1st July 2027. Delivery locations include the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, United Kingdom, and other global regions.

This tender offers growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in providing subscription services. While the procurement was limited to a single supplier on this occasion, similar future tenders could invite small to large organisations capable of delivering global subscription solutions. The winning supplier, Gartner UK Ltd, is a large-scale entity, indicating that businesses with substantial resources and capabilities are well-suited to compete in such high-value and geographically diverse contracts. Although this particular process did not expressly favour SMEs or VCSEs, keeping an eye on MoD tenders can be beneficial for businesses looking to expand their footprint in the public sector.
