Summary of the contracting process

FCDO Services, a public authority under the central government located in Milton Keynes, has concluded the procurement process for the "Bulldog Device Support (1 year)" contract, a direct procurement without competition for below-threshold services. The contract, valued at £42,840 gross (£35,700 excluding VAT), covers the support of 28 devices from August 2025 to August 2026 and was awarded to CYBER1ST LIMITED, a small and medium enterprise (SME). The contract period is set to begin on 30th August 2025, with an expected signature by 28th August 2025. This procurement falls under the service category, specifically computer audit, consultancy, and software programming services, with delivery regions covering multiple areas across the United Kingdom including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK.

This contract offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in computer audit and consultancy, and software programming services. Given that the procurement method was direct and targeted, it presents an ideal scenario for SMEs, like CYBER1ST LIMITED, to leverage their expertise and expand their market presence within the public sector. Businesses capable of delivering specialised IT support services without the need for competitive tendering might find similar opportunities through organisations such as FCDO Services. The contract supports continuous engagement with government entities, potentially leading to further contractual opportunities in the framework of public authorities' needs.
