Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is procuring a Cisco Enterprise Agreement covering telecommunications services and network operating system software. The requirement is intended to support the Ministry’s network operations through Cisco products and associated enterprise-level arrangements. The main category is telecommunications services, with network operating system software also included. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The Ministry of Defence is the buying organisation and is acting as a central purchasing body. The arrangement is structured as a framework agreement with provision for one participant. The requirement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. Suppliers should therefore be able to support a UK-wide Ministry of Defence requirement involving Cisco enterprise technology and related telecommunications services.

The procurement reached tender: the Ministry of Defence invited offers using an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 28 August 2026 at 16:00. Bids were to remain valid until 24 July 2026 at 23:59, and bids were scheduled to be opened on 24 July 2026 at 16:00, with the award period starting at that time. The contract period for the single lot runs from 24 July 2026 to 31 July 2031. The estimated tender value is £66,666,666.70; the lot value is £666,666,666.70. Document access carries a participation fee, with no amount stated. Submissions could be electronic or written, variants were allowed, and an electronic catalogue was required. Bids could be submitted in Bulgarian.

This opportunity suits suppliers with established capability in Cisco enterprise agreements, telecommunications services and network operating system software. It is relevant to businesses able to support a Ministry of Defence customer across the United Kingdom and to deliver at framework scale over a multi-year contract period. The framework is limited to one participant, so the successful supplier would be positioned as the sole provider under the arrangement. Bidders must be able to prepare an electronic catalogue and submit compliant tender information in Bulgarian. Suppliers that can offer technically credible Cisco-related network solutions, manage enterprise-level telecommunications requirements and support the Ministry’s procurement and delivery arrangements are best placed to compete. The procedure allows variants, giving suppliers scope to propose alternative approaches that meet the requirement.
