Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured services to establish a Google Cloud Platform capability for defence customers, supporting data and applications classified up to Official-Sensitive. The requirement covers cloud computing power, database storage, content delivery and other generally available cloud functionality, adding to the department’s existing cloud services. This is an IT and internet support service requirement (CPV 72000000), delivered for the Ministry of Defence from its Corsham site in the South West of England. The procurement is classed as a service and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It forms part of the department’s wider cloud capability for defence needs rather than a conventional software development project alone.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Telana Limited on 14 August 2026 for £19.5 million. The contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 17 August 2029. The tender submission deadline was 10 July 2026 at 5pm. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process, with the procurement covering a single cloud services requirement rather than separately identified lots. The award is active and the selected supplier is responsible for providing the Google Cloud Platform capability and associated cloud functionality for defence customers.

This procurement indicates demand from the Ministry of Defence for suppliers able to establish and operate secure public-cloud capability for defence users. Credible competitors would need strong Google Cloud Platform expertise, including cloud architecture, compute, database storage, content delivery and integration with an existing portfolio of cloud services. Experience of delivering services for government or defence customers would help, particularly where systems and data must operate at Official-Sensitive classification. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate the governance, security controls, technical assurance, service management and operational resilience needed for a sizeable, multi-year cloud service. The award to an SME shows that specialist smaller providers can compete where they can combine platform capability with appropriate defence-sector assurance and delivery capacity.
