715928488 - Provision of Mediation Services to the Armed Forces and MOD Civil Servants

Ministry of Defence · Central government

In brief

Ministry of Defence has announced plans to buy consultancy work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £800,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 2 years, up to 4 years with extensions, starting 1 April 2027.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually low: a median of 2 bids per contract for this buyer (from 157 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £800,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Provision of Mediation Services to the Armed Forces and MOD Civil Servants. A 2 year contract with potential for 2 plus 1 year option years.
