This procurement, falling under the industry category of technical support services with CPV code 71356300, aims to facilitate an urgent change programme for the Ministry of Defence's Secret Tier ICT space. The procurement process employed a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender was in the award stage, with an award made on 1st July 2024. The contract, valued at £2,160,600, commenced on the same date and ended on 31st December 2024. The procurement was suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), specifically targeting those capable of providing advanced technical support.

This contract offers significant growth opportunities for SMEs specialising in technical support services, especially those with experience in high-security environments. Businesses that can offer innovative solutions to meet the evolving needs of defence ICT infrastructure will find this contract a valuable entry point into or expansion within the public sector. Apache IX Limited, a supplier, was awarded the contract, highlighting the potential for similar businesses to engage with and win contracts within the defence industry. The procurement's selective nature suggests that companies with a strong track record and niche expertise would be well-positioned to compete in such significant government procurements.
