## Summary

The public procurement process involves the MINISTRY OF DEFENCE, which has recently completed a tender titled "Provision of Access to XXXX Products" within the services industry, specifically focusing on database systems. The contract, valued at £187,000, was awarded following a direct procurement method as a single tender action below the threshold. The contract period commenced on 29th September 2020 and will conclude on 30th September 2021, with the relevant delivery address located in Gloucester (SW1A 2HB). The award notice for this contract was published on 11th March 2021.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in database systems and related services, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can provide innovative solutions. Companies that offer licensing or access to digital products would find themselves well-positioned to compete. As the procurement method was direct, it indicates that the buying organisation sought a specific supplier's capability rather than engaging in a broader competitive process, which could open doors for future collaborations with the MINISTRY OF DEFENCE for similar contracts.
