This procurement, classified under engineering support services, is located in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method employed is a limited procedure, specifically a negotiated procedure without prior publication, with an estimated value of £2,700,000. While the tender was published on 16 October 2020 and remains active, it is essential to note that the tender period has ended, and contracts are to be initiated starting from 3 January 2021, with a duration until 2 January 2024.

This tender presents an opportunity primarily for larger firms in the IT and engineering services sectors capable of providing in-service support and software licensing solutions.

Although SMEs and voluntary community sector enterprises are deemed unsuitable for this specific procurement, larger organisations with the necessary capacity and experience may leverage this opportunity to expand their market presence and engage in long-term contracts with the Ministry of Defence.
