Coverage: 83 active published awards; 11 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments.

Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

The authority intends to hold 1-2-1 sessions with interested suppliers who hold the appropriate level of security clearance between 16/06/2025 – 11/07/2025, however there may be scope to hold a market engagement day dependant on the level of response received from interested partied. Should you be interested in these requirements, please contact FMC-StratProgs-CWDEW-Group@mod.gov.uk This notice is solely for the purpose of engaging the market to gather information. It does not constitute a call for competition or form part of any formal procurement process.
