Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, situated in Bristol, England, has successfully completed the award stage of a tender titled "Protective Monitoring (PMON)." This procurement falls under the industry category of Monitoring and Control Services with an additional classification in Information Technology Services. The contract, valued at £2,106,720 GBP, has been awarded to Computer Network Defence Limited. The procurement process was conducted via a selective method, specifically through a call-off from a framework agreement. Although the tender period ended on 13th March 2026, the contract commenced on 20th March 2026 and is set to conclude on 19th March 2028.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses with expertise in IT services, particularly those providing protective monitoring solutions. Since the procurement method involved a framework agreement, companies familiar with or part of such frameworks would have found themselves well-positioned to compete. The contract's scale favours larger organisations due to its financial magnitude and specialised requirements. Small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community, and social enterprises might find it challenging to meet the tender suitability criteria set by the Ministry of Defence. However, businesses that excel in security and monitoring services can leverage the insights and accountability features of protective monitoring to further grow their market presence.
