Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, Army, located in Andover, UK, has completed the procurement process for its Land Domain Data Fabric (LDDF) project. This initiative falls under industry-specific software development services, and aims to establish a foundational data infrastructure for the Army. The competitive award was given directly under the G-Cloud 14 framework without prior publication of a call for competition, following an award procedure that falls outside the scope of traditional procurement methods. The contract was awarded on 27th October 2025, and involves configuring successful components used in other MOD projects into an MVP for the LDDF system.

This tender opens significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software development, particularly those experienced in serving Defence organisations. Given the nature of the procurement process, companies with prior involvement with MOD projects and those familiar with the Defence sector would be well-suited for similar future opportunities. INTELLIUM AI LTD, a small and medium enterprise (SME) based in Bristol, UK, successfully secured this contract, highlighting that SMEs with niche expertise and proven capabilities in delivering best-in-class software solutions can effectively compete for such high-profile and complex projects.
