Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has issued a Request for Information (RFI) concerning a Mental Fitness Application, seeking innovative solutions to enhance the mental well-being of Royal Navy personnel. This procurement initiative, currently in the tender stage, aims to address anxiety, mood, emotions, and behaviours through tailored cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT)-based support programmes. The procurement is classified under information systems or technology strategic review and planning services, with a focus on preventive, educational, and recovery measures. Located in Portsmouth, England, the RFI invites interested parties to submit proposals by 9th January 2026, before transitioning to a contracting phase on 10th January 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in CBT-based digital platforms and mental fitness technologies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies with expertise in developing scalable self-help tools that align with the Ministry’s mental fitness strategy are encouraged to engage. Successful participation could lead to increased business visibility in the defence sector, fostering potential collaborations and growth within technology maintenance and strategic planning services. This initiative could be especially advantageous for businesses aiming to expand their footprint in the South East region of the United Kingdom.
