Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence in England, located at Spur B2, Bldg 405 MOD Corsham, has completed the procurement process for the provision of DC2E & OpNET Pen Testing services. This contract falls under the IT services industry category, specifically for consulting, software development, internet, and support, and is tied to the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted through a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement. The tendering phase concluded on 3rd February 2026, and the contract period is set between 1st April 2026 and 31st March 2029. The award was made to Coda Security Limited, an SME and VCSE based in Leamington Spa, on 4th February 2026, with the contract valued at £903,200.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses involved in IT security and consultancy, particularly those capable of delivering comprehensive penetration testing services. Organisations from this sector can expand their business by supplying specialised services to high-value government contracts, like this one with the Ministry of Defence. While suited primarily to larger businesses given the project's scale, smaller and VCSE enterprises with niche expertise in cybersecurity solutions may find value in leveraging such procurement opportunities to enhance their market presence and broaden their capabilities in security infrastructure projects. These contracts not only ensure consistent revenue streams but can also bolster reputations and showcase technical prowess in competitive industries.
