Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has completed a procurement process for IBM Cognos Licences, classified under the accounting software package industry category (CPV code: 48443000). With a total contract value of £4,998,996 GBP, the procurement took place in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement followed a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and the tender period concluded on 8th December 2024. The award was published on 20th January 2025, with the contract period set to start on 1st February 2025 and end on 31st January 2028.

This tender presents a substantial growth opportunity for businesses in the software and IT services sector, especially those specialising in accounting software solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to consider similar future contracts given the MOD's suitability criteria. With the awarded supplier, Computacenter (UK) Ltd, being a large-scale company, smaller businesses can aim to leverage parts procurement processes like framework agreements to establish their market presence and compete effectively in public sector tenders. This procurement exemplifies the MOD's commitment to modernising its software infrastructure, providing a steady long-term project anchoring potential partnerships.
