Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence bought IT services for delivery in the South West of England. The requirement falls within IT services covering consulting, software development, internet and support, so it is relevant to businesses providing technology consultancy, software engineering, internet-related services or IT support. The procurement was for services rather than goods or works. The buyer is the Ministry of Defence, with the contracting organisation based at MOD Corsham, Westwells Road, Corsham, England. The selected supplier was Mosaic Island, a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Bristol. The requirement therefore indicates demand from a central government defence customer for technology services delivered in the South West, with a scope broad enough to cover advisory, development and support capabilities rather than a single hardware purchase or construction activity.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 17 July 2026 at 12:00. Mosaic Island was awarded the contract on 20 July 2026 for £975,557. The contract period runs from 20 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award is active. The procurement was evaluated within the framework call-off route; the available details do not identify separate quality or price weightings. The requirement was not divided into separately reported lots. The procurement was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations, despite the appointed supplier being an SME. The award and contract period show the buyer’s intended delivery window and commitment for this IT services requirement.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the opportunity demonstrates that the Ministry of Defence purchases substantial, time-limited IT service packages in the South West through framework call-offs. A credible future competitor would need to offer a combination of technology consulting, software development, internet-related capability and ongoing support, rather than a narrow product-only proposition. It would also need access to an appropriate framework route and the capacity to deliver a sizeable government services package for a defence customer. The successful supplier’s SME status shows that an SME can win this type of requirement, although the procurement was formally marked as unsuitable for SMEs. Businesses with demonstrable delivery capability across the stated IT disciplines and experience working within framework call-off processes would be best placed to assess comparable future demand from this buyer.
