Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured cyber support for J6 cloud-based programmes across a range of Ministry of Defence locations. The requirement is for computer-related services, covering delivery associated with cloud programmes and supporting activity at the buyer’s sites. The recorded delivery scope includes the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world, as well as an address at Northwood Headquarters in London. This is a services procurement intended for a supplier able to provide cyber expertise in support of defence cloud programmes. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to established specialist cyber and cloud-support firms as well as larger providers with the necessary defence delivery capability.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The Ministry of Defence used a selective procedure as a call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework. The award was made on 4 August 2026 to Amethyst Risk Management for £76,364.40 including the stated GBP currency. The contract runs from 5 August 2026 to 27 October 2026, with a stated duration of 12 weeks and no option periods. The tender submission deadline was 4 August 2026 at 12:00. One supplier is recorded for the award. The procurement’s main category is services, with computer-related services as its classification. The published outcome records the award as active and the tender as complete. The award basis is the framework call-off route rather than a standalone open competition.

This award provides a clear indication of the Ministry of Defence’s demand for short-term cyber support linked to cloud-based defence programmes and delivered across multiple locations. Suppliers seeking comparable work would need demonstrable cyber capability, practical cloud-programme support experience and the capacity to deploy or coordinate personnel across geographically dispersed Ministry of Defence sites. Access to the relevant public-sector cloud framework is important because this requirement was placed through a framework call-off rather than a standalone competition. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that a smaller specialist business can meet this type of requirement. Firms should therefore be able to evidence credible delivery resources, experience supporting complex public-sector or defence environments, and the ability to provide focused support over a defined operational period.
