Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has successfully awarded a contract under the notice titled "SCIDA - Site Co-ordinating Installation Design Authority" for the compliance of MOD IT networks, valued at £99,000. The procurement process, categorised under "Networks" within the services industry, culminated in an award stage as of 20th November 2025. This selective procurement was conducted through a call-off from a framework agreement. Key dates included the end of the tender period on 31st March 2025 and the contract duration from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, covering the South West region of the United Kingdom.
