This procurement falls under the industry category of IT services, encompassing consulting, software development, internet, and support, with a total value of £123,140. The selective procurement method was utilised, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement process, which began with the tender stage and concluded with the award stage, was completed on 31st March 2025. The contract commences on 1st April 2025, ending on 1st October 2025, and is based within the South West region, specifically Corsham in England.

This tender offers growth opportunities for businesses capable of delivering advanced IT consulting services. Particularly, medium to large-scale enterprises specialising in IT services and software development may find this contract suitable given the project's scope and complexity. Although not explicitly suited for SMEs or VCSEs, companies with robust capabilities in providing tailored IT solutions to governmental bodies, such as the Ministry of Defence, could effectively compete in similar opportunities.
