## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has completed the procurement process for IT support services for the Defence Medical Academy, under the project titled "DEAN Support for the Defence Medical Academy." This procurement, classified under the industry category of network management software services, fell under the "award" stage as of 12 September 2025. The contract was awarded to Centiant Intl Ltd, commencing on 1 November 2025 and concluding on 31 October 2027, with a total value of £387,890.74. The procurement method was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses experienced in providing comprehensive IT support and network management services, particularly those capable of ensuring the operational capability of critical infrastructure like the DEAN system. While SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises were not the focus of this procurement, the scale of the contract suggests significant growth potential for large businesses equipped to manage and maintain military-grade technology systems. Businesses keen on expanding their footprint in defence sector IT services could find similar tenders highly beneficial for scalable growth.
