## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has awarded a contract for the title "Provision of SPCC Independent Participant Support Service (SIPSS)" under the services category. The procurement process was handled through a direct method, below the threshold and without competition. The contract covers social work services without accommodation and is valued at £40,000 gross. Located in Glasgow, this contract involves the Ministry of Defence as the contracting authority with the service being delivered by the supplier, Victim Support, based in Cardiff. The stage of the procurement is complete; the contract commenced on 14 July 2026 and will end on 13 July 2027.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in social support services to engage with central government projects. The absence of a competitive bidding process, due to the direct procurement method, highlights a potential strategy for SMEs to secure government contracts by building direct relationships with buying authorities like the Ministry of Defence. Businesses involved in social work and support services, particularly those capable of delivering welfare support via telephone, would be well-suited to similar opportunities for growth and collaboration with public sector organisations.
