Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has completed the procurement process for the "DCO Close Support Partner (CSP) 2" contract, focusing on IT services to support its Defensive Cyber Operations programme. The contract, valued at £10,322,640, has been awarded to Logiq Consulting Limited. This selective procurement was conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement. The project spans from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2027, and services are required across the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. Key procurement stages included the tender period closing on 24th January 2025 and the award finalised on 6th March 2025. The project falls under the CPV classification "IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support" (72000000).

This procurement presents significant opportunities for large IT service providers with expertise in cyber operations and defence-related support services to engage with a major government defence initiative. While Logiq Consulting Limited, a large-scale supplier, has secured this contract, similar tenders may arise within the framework agreement for businesses specialising in IT consultancy and rapid technological adaptation, which is particularly relevant for SMEs, given the suitability criteria indicated for these types of businesses. This contract highlights the scope for enhancing cybersecurity frameworks, thus offering growth avenues for firms positioned to meet strategic defence objectives across diverse geographical locations.
