Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has awarded a contract for application software, titled "Appivate - Application Software", under CPV classification 72000000 for IT services, consulting, software development, internet, and support. The procurement was conducted using a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement. Located in the South West region of the United Kingdom, the contract's award was announced on 16th February 2026, with the contract starting on 2nd February 2026 and extending until 31st March 2029. The procurement stage is the award, signifying competition completion, with PA Consulting Ltd securing the contract valued at £90,000,000.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for large businesses specialising in IT services. With the Ministry of Defence as the buying organisation, the contract demands expertise in software development and consultancy. Companies capable of fulfilling complex requirements in the IT sector will find this opportunity particularly advantageous, as it offers significant financial growth potential over a three-year period. The engagement with a major public sector body like the Ministry of Defence could facilitate increased visibility and future collaboration prospects within government circles. However, smaller SMEs and VCSEs may find this tender challenging due to the scale and specific requirements outlined.
