Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the contract titled "ESPO 229_24 Lot 1" is managed by the Ministry of Defence, based in Glasgow, Scotland. This procurement falls under the 'goods' category, specifically for curtains (CPV code 39515100). The contract covers a wide geographic area, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, and the United Kingdom, with the procurement method being a call-off from a framework agreement, employing a selective process. Key dates include the tender period closing on 27th October 2025, with the contract running from 27th October 2025 to 30th September 2027. The procurement stage is at the 'Award' phase as of 13th November 2025, with the contract being awarded to Bridge Contract Solutions Ltd.

This tender presents growth opportunities particularly for large-scale suppliers with the capacity to handle considerable and geographically dispersed contracts. Given the focus on curtain goods, businesses specialising in manufacturing or supplying textiles suitable for defence and governmental agencies would find this contract lucrative. The Ministry of Defence's inclusive selection criteria, favouring small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), also broadens the spectrum for capable service providers looking to expand their operations in public sector supply chains. This strategic opportunity allows suppliers to secure stability through a long-term contract with a reputable buying organisation.
