Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has concluded a procurement process for "Continued eDisclosure Security Assurance Coordination" affecting the Relativity application within the Directorate of Judicial Engagement Policy. The procurement, classified under CPV code 72000000, relates to IT services and encompasses consulting, software development, internet, and support. This process, now complete, utilised a limited procurement method, allowing for an award without prior publication due to compliance with framework rules. PA Consulting Services Limited has been selected as the supplier, with a contract valued at £111,359.16. The procurement covers the entire United Kingdom, with the project being anchored in both the locality of Abbey Wood and Bristol.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for large-scale IT service providers, particularly those specialising in security assurance and coordination within digital applications. The tender effectively bypasses the competition typically associated with an open call due to its adherence to pre-established frameworks. Businesses with a history of working with governmental bodies, particularly in defence and security sectors, may find similar opportunities in future when framework agreements apply. The continuation option within the contract scope suggests potential for extended business engagements, further augmenting growth prospects for the successful supplier.
