Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, Army has completed the award phase for a significant procurement process concerning industry-specific software development services. Under the title "LDDF - Award," this process focused on delivering a Land Domain Data Fabric (LDDF) as the foundational data infrastructure for the Army. This initiative aims to provide integrated capabilities for sense-decide-effect-sustain and seamless data access across the Defence Targeting Enterprise. The procurement, classified under the services category, involves direct award without prior competition through the G-Cloud 14 framework. Though initially planned with a lot, the associated lot was cancelled. The contract was signed with Telicent LTD on 5th November 2025, valued at £619,875, with a delivery location within the UK.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software development and data infrastructure services. Although Telicent LTD, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in London, has been awarded the contract, the procurement process via G-Cloud indicates potential for future similar opportunities. Companies with experience in developing military-grade software components and products, particularly those aligned with MOD projects, would be suited to compete in similar initiatives. The Army’s emphasis on a minimal viable product using best-in-class software solutions can offer substantial growth for businesses that can provide innovative and sensitive development approaches tailored to defence industry standards.
