Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) procured information technology services for its DDTS Platforms Operating Model. The requirement is described only at this level, so the practical scope is platform operating-model work rather than a specified list of systems or deliverables. Delivery is in London, with an address in Wimbledon (SW19 3EB) also recorded. This is a services requirement relevant to suppliers working on operating models for digital and technology platforms. Defra is the buying organisation.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Mozaic-Services on 12 October 2026. The awarded value is £738,000. The contract runs from 12 October 2026 to 11 October 2027. The competition was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with an estimated procurement value of £738,000. The tender deadline was 6 October 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lot breakdown or evaluation criteria are stated in the available procurement details.

This award shows Defra buying platform operating-model services through a framework call-off, at a scale suited to established specialist delivery but identified as suitable for SMEs. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable requirement should be able to shape or operate technology-platform models and deliver services for a public-sector organisation. The successful supplier, Mozaic-Services, provides a useful market reference for the type of provider selected, but the procurement details do not identify specific technical methods, platforms, accreditations or experience requirements. A credible competitor would therefore need to demonstrate relevant platform operating-model capability and the capacity to deliver the defined requirement, rather than relying on adjacent IT services alone. The award indicates demand for this type of work within Defra’s digital and technology function.
