Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured hosting, maintenance and support for Primavera P6, a project planning and scheduling software service. The requirement covers operation and ongoing technical support for the software environment rather than the supply of physical goods. It is classified under network operating systems (CPV 32425000) and falls within services. Delivery was defined across the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is a Ministry of Defence requirement, so relevant suppliers are those able to support a geographically broad public-sector user base and maintain dependable access to Primavera P6 across potentially varied locations and operating environments.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 20 August 2026 at 5pm, and the award was made on 21 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 28 February 2027. Its awarded value is £40,152 including the stated currency of GBP. Devonport Royal Dockyard Limited was selected as the supplier. The award covers the full Primavera P6 hosting, maintenance and support requirement. The recorded procurement category is services, and the opportunity was not identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off route.

This award demonstrates a defined Ministry of Defence demand for specialist Primavera P6 hosting, maintenance and support delivered across a wide geographic footprint. A credible future competitor would need proven capability to host and administer Primavera P6, maintain service availability, resolve technical issues and provide responsive user support. Experience of supporting project planning and scheduling systems in complex, security-conscious or operationally demanding organisations would strengthen a supplier’s position. The framework call-off route also shows that relevant suppliers need access to an appropriate public-sector framework and the capacity to meet its requirements without relying on a small local delivery model. The buyer’s classification of the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs or VCSEs indicates that scale, established infrastructure and organisational capacity are likely to matter when this need is next competed.
