Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process, initiated by the Ministry of Defence, pertains to the successful completion of the "CAN - Armed Forces Media Welfare Contract." Falling under the radio, television, communication, telecommunication, and related equipment industry (CPV code 32000000), the contract caters to the South East region of the United Kingdom, with a specific postal code of SL9 8TN. As of 28th April 2026, the award stage is active, having concluded its tender stage on 25th July 2025. The contract spans a ten-year period from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2036, with a direct procurement method via single tender action used for this below-threshold service type procurement.

With a substantial contract value of GBP 423,027,000 awarded to BFBS, this tender presents a significant opportunity for organisations specialising in large-scale media and telecommunication services. The contract supports business growth within the VCSE sector, although it's particularly suited to organisations with a robust operational capability and experience in serving the armed forces due to the contract's complexity and scope. Companies that aim to extend their reach in the South East and have the capacity to deliver comprehensive media services to welfare initiatives for the Ministry of Defence would find this contract an invaluable opportunity to enhance their portfolio and establish a strong foothold in public sector contracts.
