This tender, classified under IT services, specifically consulting, software development, and support (CPV code: 72000000), was conducted through a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period ended on 1st July 2018, and the awarded contract is valued at £15,920, covering a contract period from 1st August 2018 to 31st July 2019.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses that specialise in IT services and software development, particularly those capable of delivering risk assessment tools and database management solutions. While this specific contract has already been awarded to Blackthorn GRC Limited, companies that focus on similar technological enhancements or those that can offer innovative solutions in defence contracting could find future opportunities in similar procurements by engaging with the Ministry of Defence or similar governmental bodies. Collaboration among larger firms and smaller tech start-ups could streamline offerings, enhancing their competitive edge in future tenders.
