Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence recently completed a procurement process for the "PS591 - IMaGE Client-side Support Contract 2025," focusing on IT services, particularly consulting, software development, Internet, and support. This contract under the selective procurement method was executed as a call-off from a framework agreement, with CGI IT UK Limited being the awarded supplier. The procurement was based in Bristol, with the primary delivery location being postcode BS34 7QQ. Key dates included the tender period ending on 30th June 2025 and the contract running from 1st July 2025 to 30th September 2025. The procurement belonged to the services category and had a total value of £3,511,116.

This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs specialising in IT services, particularly those adept at agile practices and supporting large-scale information systems. Businesses that offer geospatial intelligence, agile programme management, or possess specialist knowledge in supporting government defence operations would be well-suited to compete. The Ministry of Defence requires support to transition from siloed approaches to comprehensive agile methodologies, making this an attractive prospect for firms with experience in facilitating such shifts. It is essential for interested suppliers to demonstrate their capacity to deliver specialist expertise that cannot be sustained within the civil service framework.
