Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured professional services for its Automation Garage, focused on digitalisation, hyper-automation and intelligent automation across Defence. The work covers analysis, innovation and development of digital products, including building on existing capabilities, introducing new automation, creating showcase demonstrations, assessing emerging technology and its potential use in Defence, and supporting related strategies and plans. The supplier is also expected to provide training and knowledge transfer in digital technologies. Services are agreed through Statements of Work, allowing the requirement to be defined for individual activities. The procurement is for office automation software development and associated professional services, with delivery linked to Defence activity rather than a single commercial site.

This procurement has been awarded and the resulting contract is active. It used a limited call-off from the RM6249 framework, without prior publication of a call for competition. Capgemini UK Plc was awarded the contract on 8 June 2026, and the contract was signed on 10 June 2026 for £18,000,000 excluding any stated tax adjustment. The contract runs from 8 June 2026 to 7 June 2028, with an optional one-year extension. Evaluation was weighted 60% technical and 40% commercial. The process recorded one bid. The associated lot is marked cancelled, although the award and contract are recorded as active, so businesses should check the underlying procurement records when using this outcome as a benchmark.

This outcome indicates demand from the Ministry of Defence for suppliers able to combine automation consultancy, software development and practical delivery in a complex Defence environment. Credible competitors would need experience designing, developing and deploying digital products, supporting hyper-automation and intelligent automation, and assessing how emerging technologies can be adopted responsibly. The requirement also favours organisations able to develop strategies and implementation plans, create demonstrable showcase solutions, and provide structured training and knowledge transfer. Capability to work through a framework call-off and define deliverables in Statements of Work would be important. Suppliers should be able to bring external expertise while supporting an existing automation capability, and demonstrate sufficient technical, commercial and organisational capacity for a substantial, multi-activity programme.
