Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has concluded an award process for the Soldier Development Contract concerning the provision of Basic Training Instruction, classified under staff training services. This contract, valued at £3,979,415.19, will be implemented across several regions including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom, as well as globally. The procurement followed an open procedure above threshold, signalling inclusivity for all eligible parties. Capita Business Services Ltd has been awarded the contract, which is set to commence from 1 May 2025 through to 30 April 2028. The award was officialised on 17 April 2025, with its notice published on 15 May 2025.

This award presents significant business growth prospects, particularly for companies involved in staff training services, although participation was limited to larger scale organisations, as per the suitability criteria. The expansive geographical scope of implementation underscores opportunities for businesses with operational capabilities beyond the UK. As larger firms are favoured, those possessing robust logistical networks and expertise in training servicemen would have an advantageous position. This contract exemplifies scope not only for revenue generation but also for enhancing global reach and reputation within the military training domain.
