Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has awarded a contract for the "Wider Value of the British Army Report." This procurement falls under the industry category of miscellaneous business and business-related services. Located in England, the project's primary focus is to analyse and highlight the broader benefits of the British Army to the UK and its prosperity. The tender process was conducted via single tender action due to it being below the threshold, culminating in a contract valued at £96,000. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract period running from 19th September 2024 to 15th November 2024, and the award notice was published on 15th October 2024. The project requires delivery to SP11 8HJ.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in business and economic research services. As the work involves detailed research and analysis, companies with expertise in generating comprehensive economic reports will find this contract valuable. Given the MOD's engagement in this project, it also offers the potential for long-term collaboration with a major public sector entity. Although this specific contract has been awarded to Oxford Economics Limited, businesses in similar sectors should stay attuned to future opportunities that may arise from the MOD’s ongoing initiatives.
