This project, under the industry category of procurement consultancy services, is focused on delivering category management services. The process was conducted through a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. Based in London, the contract period began on 11th September 2025 and is set to end on 31st March 2027. The awards stage has been completed, and the contract was awarded to Future Purchasing Consulting Limited, an SME. The total contract value amounts to £2,300,000.

The selective procurement method implies a targeted invitation process, ensuring that those with relevant expertise and framework agreements have the edge. Businesses in the United Kingdom, particularly those with experience in supporting government defence contracts, would find this an excellent opportunity to expand their footprint in public procurement and secure a prestigious client like the MOD.
