## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has completed a procurement process for secure gateway units, titled "FVVS Waymont TIGERTRAPS", intended for the Future Integrated User Services (FIUS) Fixed Voice and Video SECRET (FVVS) Programme. The contract was directly awarded to Waymont Consulting Limited, as they are the Original Equipment Manufacturer and sole authorised supplier. The contract, valued at £1.06M excluding VAT, will span five years from 31 July 2026 and involves providing 16 TIGERTRAP units with accompanying support and maintenance services. Located in Corsham, the procurement is governed by the Procurement Act 2023, specifically for cases requiring direct award due to technical reasons, with no reasonable alternatives available to meet the technical and security requirements.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses capable of providing specialised technical services and products, especially those operating within the defence and secure communications sectors. Companies with expertise in secure network equipment and proprietary technology solutions would be well-suited to such requirements. While Waymont Consulting Limited was selected due to unique technical capabilities, understanding the specific needs of the Ministry of Defence's security protocols and the FIUS programme could help businesses align their innovations and solutions for future opportunities in this specialised market.

## Notice

These gateways provide assured, SECRET level boundary control for fixed voice and video services and are a critical security component of the Future Integrated User Services (FIUS) Fixed Voice and Video SECRET (FVVS) Programme, enabling secure communication with UK users and International Partners. The total quantity being procured is 16 TIGERTRAP units.

### Procurement Information

Defence Digital FIUS (Future Integrated User Services), part of the UK Ministry of Defence ("the Authority"), intends to place a new contract to procure TIGERTRAP Secure Gateway units and technical support services, including software maintenance services. The proposed contract shall be awarded to Waymont Ltd ("Waymont") with a total duration of five (5) years (four (4) year core term plus one (1) year option year) and an estimated value of PS1.06M ex VAT. This award falls to be governed by the Procurement Act 2023 (the "PA 2023") Chapter 3, Section 41: Direct Award in Special Cases. It is considered that the direct award to Waymont Ltd is lawful in accordance with PA 2023 Schedule 5, paragraph 6 - Technical Reasons. This is because of (i) an absence of competition for technical reasons; and (ii) there are no reasonable alternatives to the goods and services being procured, for the following reasons; (a) There are no reasonable alternative secure gateways currently in the market that would meet MoD's technical, performance and assurance requirements for the FVVS programme. (see below background information on the FVVS programme and additional justification). (b) There are no suppliers that could design, build, test and obtain the necessary NCSC assurances or equivalent alternative level of accreditations to offer a reasonable alternative secure gateway in time to meet programme delivery milestones and would introduce unacceptable risk to operational capability and continuity. (c) Waymont Consulting Ltd is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and sole authorised supplier of the TIGERTRAP solution, provided under an approved licensing arrangement for UK Government use. (d) Only Waymont holds the necessary technical knowledge, design and tools, including proprietary documentation and information required to supply, configure, maintain, and support the TIGERTRAP system due to points a, b and c above; and Waymont is not prepared to authorise any third party to use its proprietary information. Therefore, the above reasons and constraints prevent any alternative supplier from delivering this requirement/capability. Background Information and additional justification: The FVVS procurement (please see: FVVS Opportunity Notice and Prior Information Notice) seeks to provide the provision of Secret Voice and Video Services both in the UK and Overseas, including but not limited to the provision of the core voice and video services for a five-year period. TIGERTRAP gateways provide the required assured level of accreditation and associated level boundary protection for fixed voice and video services, and form a critical security component required to meet the Future Integrated User Services (FIUS) Fixed Voice and Video SECRET (FVVS) Programme, enabling secure communications. TIGERTRAP gateways operate in accordance with MoD aligned security requirements for systems handling data. Thus requires the solution to demonstrate that the security risks are appropriately mitigated and independently assured prior to operation and throughout the capability lifecycle. As a result, Waymont TIGERTRAP Gateways are currently the only solutions with sufficient technical maturity, proven design and appropriate accreditation can be deployed within the operational environment and only Waymont has the requisite technical know-how, tools and means and information to provide the hardware and associated support services required. Further, Waymont is not authorised to subcontract or release information relating to the manufacture, content or support of the TIGERTRAPS due to the verification and examination process of the security functions of the product by the NCSC.
