## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has completed the procurement process for the Passive Infrastructure Call Off Contract (PICOC) under the CCS RM6098 framework. This tender, classified under network infrastructure (CPV 32424000), was awarded on 18th December 2024 with a contract period starting from the same date and ending on 17th December 2027. The procurement method was selective, conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £3,000,000, is located in the South West region of the United Kingdom (postcode SP11 8HJ).

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in technology products and associated services, particularly in network infrastructure hardware. Large businesses such as Boxxe Limited, which was awarded the contract, are well-suited for such opportunities due to the scale and scope of the requirements. The successful supplier will deliver technology hardware to support the Ministry of Defence, fostering growth in the tech industry and opening avenues for further government contracts. SMEs and VCSEs, however, may find it challenging to compete for such large-scale contracts.
