UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence in the United Kingdom has completed a procurement process titled "RT3-25," which falls under the services industry category, specifically targeting IT services such as consulting and software development. The location for the procurement is based in the United Kingdom, with the relevant activities to be conducted at Ministry of Defence and other government sites. This procurement reached the award stage on 9th February 2026, with the contract period set to begin on 13th February 2026 and conclude on 31st March 2026. This was a direct award procurement process due to technical requirements, and it involves a notable contract value of £100,000. Accenture UK Limited has been selected as the supplier, leveraging their extensive experience in the Defence industry within the last five years.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the IT services sector, particularly those with capabilities in adversary simulation, cyber vulnerability management, and documentation handling at the OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE classification. Companies equipped with a UK base, possessing necessary Defence industry experiences and relevant security clearances will find this tender aligns well with their expertise. The nature of the contract, requiring Red Team/Offensive Cyber qualifications or equivalent functional competence, positions this as an attractive pathway for organisations focusing on cybersecurity solutions to expand their Defence sector engagements domestically. Given the direct award nature due to compatibility considerations, businesses positioned to offer similar efficiencies and technical synergies would be well-suited for future opportunities in this domain.

Procurement Information

initial scoping of RT3-25 indicated that a change in supplier would result in the MOD receiving services that are different from, and incompatible with existing REDSHOE activity, and that the difference from and incompatibility with REDSHOE would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in delivering the RT3-25 operation.
