Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence in the United Kingdom has recently completed a procurement process for a contract titled "DGSI INDEPENDENT ASSURANCE F03 CAN," classified under system quality assurance planning services. This contract falls under the services category and involves a comprehensive review and advice related to the Vision and Strategic Action Plan for the DG SI, with a focus on ensuring effective delivery over a five-year period. The procurement method was a limited process, defined as an award procedure without prior publication, mainly due to financial thresholds. Located in Bristol, UK, the contract was officially signed on 18th August 2025 with the award given to KPMG-LLP, demonstrating a streamlined approach focusing on targeted objectives for the Ministry's future strategic roadmap.

The nature of the procurement indicates potential for extensive collaboration with the Ministry of Defence, suggesting that companies with a strong track record in handling similar high-stakes and complex projects would find this contract particularly beneficial for growth. Large consulting firms, such as KPMG-LLP, that can offer in-depth expertise and comprehensive solutions to align governmental strategic visions with actionable plans are ideally suited to compete in this domain.
