Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, based in Corsham, England, has completed the award stage for the "Data Fabric Enterprise Architecture" project, a procurement process under the industry category of computer-related professional services. This contract aims to support the Defence Data Strategy by delivering key technical and architectural components. The procurement process utilised a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement. Key dates include the tender period ending on 30 September 2025, the award date of 6 October 2025, and the contract period from 20 October 2025 to 31 March 2026. The total contract value is £653,298.20 GBP.

As this project supports significant defence data initiatives, it offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in enterprise architecture and data solutions. However, it's particularly favourable for large-scale businesses, given its scale and complexity, and not suitable for SMEs or VCSEs. Companies with expertise in delivering complex IT and data architecture projects will find this contract aligned with their capabilities, allowing them to expand their portfolio within the public sector, especially in defence-related IT services.
