Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, based in Kings Lynn, awarded a contract titled “LIGHTNING SHIELD & TIGERTRAP Support” in the data security software development services industry. This contract, valued at £686,131.18, falls under the category of services and was awarded to Waymont Consulting Limited, located in Guildford. The tender was completed under a limited procurement method due to technical reasons that necessitate the services be provided by a particular supplier. The procurement process reached the award stage, marked on 1st May 2025. The project is operational in the UKH16 region, with the Ministry of Defence acting as the buyer.

This tender presents a substantial business development opportunity for entities specialising in proprietary data security solutions. Given Waymont's unique expertise as the Original Equipment Manufacturer for both the TIGERTRAP hardware and LIGHTNING SHIELD software, it highlights the potential for specialised small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to secure niche government contracts where proprietary technology and expertise are pivotal. Companies with similar capabilities could position themselves to collaborate on future contracts by developing innovative, technically specialised products that meet the stringent needs of defence and security sectors. The opportunity to align with the standards and requirements of the Ministry of Defence could be advantageous for long-term strategic growth in these industries.
