Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured IT support and integration services for the VIX Engineering and Digital Police Station requirement. The work covers IT consulting, software development, internet and support services, with the stated lot focused on IT Support & Integration. The scope was later expanded to include Secure by Design support for the Military Court Service, alongside additional security requirements. Delivery is across the UK. This is a services contract rather than a goods supply or construction project, so relevant businesses are IT service providers with experience integrating and supporting digital systems in sensitive public-sector or defence environments. The buyer is the Ministry of Defence, based in Glasgow.

The procurement has been awarded and two active contracts are recorded for its single lot. Stable Resources Ltd and Stable Resources are named as the suppliers. The first contract was signed on 3 November 2025 for £660,400 excluding VAT, with a 360-day contract period. It amended the earlier value from £580,400, added security requirements, changed the title and extended the expiry date to 6 July 2027. A second contract was signed on 11 September 2026 for £790,400, with a 720-day period. It added Secure by Design support for the Military Court Service and increased the value by £130,000 excluding VAT. Both awards are active.

This procurement demonstrates Ministry of Defence demand for integrated IT support around sensitive digital services, including a digital police station and Military Court Service systems. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in IT consulting, software or systems integration, internet and support services, and the ability to provide sustained service over a substantial delivery period. The requirement also points to experience with defence or other security-sensitive customers, Secure by Design practices, and handling Official-Sensitive security requirements. Suppliers should be able to absorb additional services without disrupting the existing operation, manage security measures and documentation, and provide a sizeable, established delivery team. The appointed supplier is recorded as a large business, indicating meaningful organisational capacity is relevant.
