Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "DPKI Support Services" contract, awarded by the Ministry of Defence, falls under the industry category of military electronic systems. The procurement is related to goods, with services required to be delivered to Corsham, located in the South West of England. This contract follows a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement and is currently in the award stage, with a contract value of £4,989,600. The award date was 19th June 2026, with the contract period commencing on 26th June 2026 and concluding on 28th June 2029. The process was closely coordinated by the Ministry of Defence from their Corsham office, with Esther Gardiner serving as the contact point.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in military electronic systems. The substantial contract value and long-term engagement period create significant growth opportunities for businesses that can provide high-quality support services in this niche. Companies already part of relevant framework agreements are well-positioned to compete, and those classified as SMEs may find themselves suitably positioned to contribute innovative solutions, provided they can meet the stringent requirements set by the Ministry of Defence.
