Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by the Ministry of Defence, focused on acquiring a secure cloud hosting mobile geospatial service for dismounted situational awareness. This service falls under the industry category of software package and information systems. The procurement was conducted via a selective method, specifically through a call-off from a framework agreement. Key activities were completed by 11th May 2026, with the contract period set from 23rd June 2026 to 11th June 2028. The procurement is targeted at locations around postal code SP11 8HT in England, with a total value of £8,320,000 GBP.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in software and information systems, especially those with capabilities in identity and access management integration. The Ministry of Defence’s use of selective procurement methods within a framework agreement underscores the opportunity for qualified suppliers to secure government contracts and expand within the digital and technology sectors. Rowden Technologies Ltd, a Bristol-based SME, was successful in securing this contract, demonstrating that similarly structured businesses with innovative solutions can find growth potential in such tenders.
