Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has awarded a contract for the "Disposal of Secure and Non-Secure IT Assets" under a four-year framework agreement. This procurement, falling under the "services" category and relevant to the "Defence services" industry, involves the collection, marketing, sale, and disposal of commercial assets. The procurement was conducted through a "selective" or "restricted" process, with technical and commercial criteria carrying weighted evaluations (60% technical, 40% commercial). The awarded contract, valued at £28,000,000, was signed on 4th April 2025, and spans a period of four years. The principal location for the service is the United Kingdom, and the awarded supplier, E-Cycle Limited, will be responsible for execution.

This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies engaged in IT asset disposal, recycling, and resale, including those specialising in direct marketing services within the defence sector. As a four-year framework, businesses can anticipate a steady flow of contracts, supporting strategic planning and capacity building. Due to the nature of the services required, organisations with robust supply chains and compliance with technical and suitability criteria detailed in the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) would be well-suited to compete. Such contracts are excellent for businesses looking to establish strong relationships within the defence sector and expand their service offerings in the government procurement market.

This will be a Framework Arrangement against which the Authority cannot guarantee throughput of business although data for the previous contract is provided with the PQQ. This requirement has been advertised with a value of PS5.2 M, however, the Authority has estimated the requirement with a range from PS2,971,428 M to PS5.2 M, and the values are dependent on the throughput and sales generated, and consequent return to the contractor. The estimated total throughput for this Framework is anticipated to be in the region of PS5.2 M, but this figure includes the potential return to the Authority. This is not a guarantee of business and is only an estimate based on previous throughput.",
