Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has recently completed the procurement process for "ROSA Technical Support," a contract to enhance secret ICT capabilities across the defence estate in the United Kingdom. This procurement falls under the industry category of Technical Support Services with CPV code 71356300. The process utilised a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement, reflecting the importance and specificity of the required services. The tendering process started and concluded with an award on 1st July 2025, and the contract runs until 30th March 2026, with a total contract value of £156,125.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in technical support services, particularly those already involved in government contracts or frameworks. The requirement for secret ICT capabilities suggests that firms with expertise in secure and sophisticated tech solutions could leverage this opportunity for growth. Actica Consulting, a small to medium enterprise, has been awarded the contract, highlighting potential advantages for similarly sized companies in entering the competitive landscape of government tenders. By focusing on niche sectors like secure ICT services, businesses can position themselves favourably for similar future opportunities offered by high-profile clients like the MOD.
