Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is seeking technical support for the Defence Strategic Radio Service (DSRS) through a selective procurement method, specifically by calling off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at approximately £1,158,585, was awarded to QinetiQ Group PLC, with the contract period commencing on 23rd June 2021 and extending until 31st May 2025. This procurement process concluded with the award date on 22nd June 2021, following the tender period which ended on 31st May 2021. The service is classified under technical support services within the procurement industry category and pertains to the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in technical support services, particularly those with capabilities in defence communications and radio technology. As the procurement is tailored towards securing expertise to maintain the operational capability of critical defence systems, companies that possess a strong portfolio in technical consultancy, engineering services, or project management in a military context would be well-positioned to compete. Though the contract is already awarded, future contracts in this domain may emerge, making it essential for interested businesses to stay engaged with this category of public procurement.
