## Summary

MOD Corsham bought technical client-side support for the PICASSO programme’s IMaGE team, supporting the Category A Programme’s assured geospatial intelligence services. The work covers designing and implementing solutions, shaping the commercial strategy for future live-service delivery, and embedding agile working through the Scaled Agile Framework. The programme’s services support Defence activity including understanding, planning, navigation and targeting, across approximately 70 systems and services that require ongoing modernisation. This is specialist ICT and programme support for defence geospatial intelligence, rather than a general-purpose IT supply. The delivery location is in the South West of England, with MOD Corsham the buying organisation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to CGI IT UK Ltd. It was run as a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 22 May 2026; the award was made on 27 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £3,461,183.64. The contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender’s stated estimated value was also £3,461,183.64. The contracting information identifies no lots, so the award relates to the overall requirement. The process description sets out the service requirement and delivery approach, but gives no evaluation criteria; no evaluation basis can therefore be reported.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible supplier would need to combine technical client-side support with the ability to design and implement solutions for a defence geospatial intelligence environment. Experience supporting complex, interconnected systems and live services would be directly relevant, particularly where services must be continually upgraded to meet changing Defence needs. The work also calls for commercial capability: the team must help develop a strategy for future live-service delivery, not just provide technical advice. Demonstrable experience embedding agile methods using the Scaled Agile Framework would be pertinent. This is a substantial, specialist defence programme requirement, and the selected supplier is a large IT services provider; competitors would need to show suitable scale and relevant delivery experience.

## Notice

The Category A Programme enables the production, exploitation, and dissemination of assured geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) information and services, across approx. 70 systems and services. Defence relies on these services to understand, plan, navigate and target. These systems and associated live services require continual upgrade and modernisation to meet evolving Defence requirements. The PICASSO programmes IMaGE team require technical client-side support, to design and implement solutions; execute commercial strategy for future delivery of Live Services and embed agile delivery methods via the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe(r)).
