## Summary

The Ministry of Defence, based in London, England, has successfully completed a procurement process titled "PS618" aimed at providing client-side support for its PICASSO programme. This falls under the industry category of computer-related professional services. The procurement, delivered as a call-off from a framework agreement, utilised a selective procurement method, which restricted participation to pre-identified suppliers. Key dates associated with this process included the tender period's end date on 24th October 2025 and an award date of 27th October 2025. The contract, worth approximately £3.7 million, will commence on 1st December 2025 and conclude on 31st January 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT consultancy and professional services, particularly larger enterprises that can meet the Ministry's precise requirements. The awarded contract to CGI IT UK Ltd, a large-scale supplier, highlights the opportunity for firms capable of managing large-scale, complex technology projects. While the procurement was not specifically suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, businesses with established frameworks and experience in government contracts might find similar opportunities conducive to expanding their operations in the public sector domain.
