UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence intends to procure defence-wide maintenance, repair and support services for ICT hardware and software. The work covers an integrated service for systems and services, combining remote and on-site support with preventive maintenance, administration, break-fix repairs, documentation, asset management, security support and service management. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The requirement is for computer support services, intended to provide secure and responsive support across the Ministry’s defence-wide operations. It is structured as one lot.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the Ministry has stated its intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. It expects to use a selective process, with an award under a framework. The planned contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with a possible extension to 30 November 2030. The estimated value is £3 million excluding VAT (£3.6 million including VAT). The procurement is planned as a competitive call-off under an existing framework. These are planning expectations, not dates for submitting a bid; no response deadline or evaluation criteria are set out at this stage.

The requirement is suited to suppliers able to support ICT hardware and software across defence operations throughout the United Kingdom, combining remote assistance with on-site service. Relevant capability includes preventive maintenance, administration, break-fix repair, documentation and asset management, alongside security and service management. The buyer is seeking an integrated, secure and responsive service rather than a single isolated repair function. Suppliers should therefore be positioned to coordinate these support activities across systems and services and to deliver at defence-wide scale. The planned competitive award under a framework means suppliers would need to be eligible to participate through that framework. No particular accreditation or minimum experience requirement is stated.
