Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "MOD - Value Chain Mapping Minimum Viable Product." This initiative falls under the industry category of Data Analysis Services, focusing on value chain mapping of commodity codes related to MOD suppliers and manufacturers. The procurement was executed through a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without a prior call for competition, leveraging the MOD Data Framework. This short-term contract was signed on 31st March 2026 with Altana Technologies UK LTD, a small and medium enterprise (SME) based in London, UK. The project’s main objectives include mapping supply chains, assessing supply-chain risks, and providing a comprehensive final report detailing findings and recommendations, contributing to future MOD initiatives.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in data analysis services and supply chain management. It encourages businesses adept at navigating complex data scenarios, particularly those capable of providing innovative solutions without traditional data access methods, such as bills of materials. SMEs with proprietary analytical capabilities and expertise in international trade data can leverage this project to showcase their competencies and deliver value-driven solutions for governmental clients like the MOD. Companies with a proven track record in handling sensitive defence supply chain information are particularly well-suited to compete in such specialised procurement opportunities.
