Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has completed a procurement process for the contract titled "WATERGUARD Applications (WG Apps) Sustainment 2026-29" focusing on technical support services. This process, initiated as a tender, moved through a selective procurement method involving a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, worth £3,470,777.39, encompasses services to be delivered in the United Kingdom over a period from 15th April 2026 to 31st March 2029. The main procurement category is services, with no preference for VCSE organisations, but small and medium enterprises (SMEs) could find suitability. The award stage concluded on 1st July 2026, with CGI (EUROPE) LTD appointed as the supplier.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in technical support services. Companies that can offer innovative solutions and operational efficiencies for managing applications within the Waterguard programme may find engaging with such government contracts beneficial for their growth. SMEs particularly have an advantage due to their eligibility as indicated by the procurement details. Businesses experienced in government frameworks and possessing a robust capability to fulfil technical service delivery on a national scale would be well-placed to compete for similar opportunities in future procurement processes managed by the Ministry of Defence.
