Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured a managed IT service for Foundry MacBooks. The requirement covers the support and management of Apple MacBook devices, within the wider IT services category (CPV 72000000), including consulting, software development, internet and support services. Delivery is associated with MOD Corsham, Westwells Road, Corsham, in the South West of England. The procurement is categorised as a service and is intended for the Ministry of Defence as the buying organisation. The requirement is relevant to businesses providing managed endpoint services, Apple device administration, technical support and associated IT service management for public-sector or defence users. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 30 April 2026 at 17:00. The estimated procurement value was £363,600. The contract runs from 1 May 2026 to 30 September 2026. Postremo IT Limited was awarded the contract on 1 May 2026 for £149,600, with an active award covering the same period. The published evaluation basis was the procurement requirements under the framework call-off; the available outcome identifies the selected supplier and awarded value. This is an award-stage opportunity rather than an invitation to submit a bid, and the reported contract period is approximately five months.

For a supplier that did not win this requirement, the award demonstrates that the Ministry of Defence buys managed services specifically for MacBook fleets through framework call-offs. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical expertise in Apple device deployment, configuration, monitoring, maintenance and user support, together with the service-management capability to operate reliably for a defence customer. Experience managing distributed or security-sensitive public-sector endpoints would strengthen its position, provided it can be evidenced against the framework and call-off requirements. The opportunity also shows that the requirement can be accessible to SMEs, so smaller specialists with a suitably structured managed-service operation may be relevant competitors. The focus is managed Apple endpoint support, rather than general IT supply.
