Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured fixed voice official site surveys across its UK 07 requirement. The work is an IT consulting service, covering surveys of fixed-voice arrangements at official sites and associated site information. Delivery spans the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories, Europe and the rest of the world. The buying organisation is the Ministry of Defence, based at Army Headquarters in Andover, England. This is a service requirement rather than a goods supply or construction project, and is relevant to businesses providing telecommunications, fixed-voice, site-survey or related IT consultancy services for geographically dispersed public-sector estates.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with tender submissions due by 21 August 2026 at 10:00. The contract was awarded on 1 September 2026 to UBDS IT Consulting Ltd for £178,675 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 6 November 2026. The requirement was evaluated as a services procurement under IT services, consulting, software development, internet and support. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME. No separate lots or multiple awards are identified.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a useful reference point for suppliers targeting Ministry of Defence telecommunications and IT consultancy work. A credible competitor would need to deliver fixed-voice official site surveys across a highly dispersed estate, coordinate work across the United Kingdom and overseas locations, and operate effectively through a framework call-off route. Relevant strengths include structured site-survey methods, telecommunications assessment, clear technical reporting, stakeholder coordination and the capacity to manage geographically distributed assignments. The award to an SME indicates that this type of requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business, while the stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises signals that organisations of those types may be well placed to compete when comparable Ministry of Defence requirements return.
