Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured product management services for its Defence DevSecOps Service. This is an information technology service covering consulting, software development, internet and support services, with the specific requirement focused on product management within a defence DevSecOps environment. Delivery is associated with the Ministry of Defence site at MOD Corsham, Westwells Road, Corsham, in the South West of England. The procurement is categorised as a services contract and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement is therefore relevant to suppliers providing product leadership and management for secure defence technology services, particularly those able to work within a Ministry of Defence operational setting.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement. Insight Direct UK LTD was awarded the contract on 10 July 2026 for £55,510. The contract period runs from 10 July 2026 to 30 September 2026. The tender submission deadline was 9 July 2026 at 5pm. The published outcome records one active award and identifies Insight Direct UK LTD as the selected supplier. The procurement was evaluated as a product management IT services requirement, with the award made through the framework call-off route. No separate lots or alternative awards are recorded.

This award provides a clear indication that the Ministry of Defence buys specialist product management capability for secure DevSecOps services through framework call-offs. Suppliers that may be credible for a future requirement would need demonstrable experience managing products in complex technology environments, translating user and operational needs into delivery priorities, and coordinating software development, support and security considerations. Defence or other highly controlled public-sector experience would strengthen a supplier’s position, as would the ability to operate effectively with government stakeholders and delivery teams. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs, suggesting that a focused specialist with the relevant product management capacity could compete, either independently or through an appropriate framework route.
