Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, located in Corsham, UK, has completed a contract award for the procurement of web server software development services, specifically focused on an Amazon Web Services Temporary Landing Zone (AWS TLZ) under the ASGARD initiative. This contract, valued at £1,200,000, spans from 31st March 2026 to 30th March 2027. The procurement falls under the services category in the digital and data sector, catering to the sensitive MOD locations across the UK. This project was facilitated through the Crown Commercial Service G-Cloud 14 Framework Agreement, employing a limited procurement process without a prior call for competition.

This contract provides business growth opportunities for companies specialising in web server software and cloud services. Particularly, suppliers with expertise in AWS accelerators, innovative digital solutions, and secure operational environments might find this procurement appealing. Large-scale enterprises like Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL are suitable competitors, given the project's reliance on proprietary methodologies and the need to support complex army data capabilities. Companies looking to collaborate with government agencies and engage in defence-related digital transformations may gain significantly from participating in similar tenders. The completion of this stage opens possibilities for future engagements or similar procurement initiatives within the Ministry of Defence's digital agenda.
