Mastek bags supplier spot in Digital Services Framework for UK's Defence Ministry

Mastek has been awarded a significant position on the UK Ministry Of Defence's Digital and IT Professional Services (DIPS) framework. The company will operate on Lot 1, focusing on Solutions, Enterprise & Tech Architecture, Data, Innovation, Tech Assurance, and Knowledge & Information Management. Additionally, Mastek will serve as a subcontractor for Qinetiq Limited on Lots 2 and 3, covering areas like Development, Application Support, User Experience, Cyber Security, and Integrated Systems.

Assisted by the Crown Commercial Service (CCS), the DIPS framework is set to run for four years with a substantial budget of approximately £1.2 billion. It aims to bolster the MOD's digital strategy, particularly in data management, modern technology, cyber defense, and digital delivery of capabilities. Aligned with Defence Digital's transformation objectives, the framework offers access to a diverse range of industry skills, promising shorter time to market, enhanced delivery, and better value for taxpayers.

Dean Richardson, Head of Digital Enablement at Mastek, said, “Being a supplier to the MOD through the DIPS framework is a fabulous opportunity to grow our already proven trusted relationship. We’ve brought together a strong supply chain ecosystem, which gives us the best structure to deliver against the MOD’s future requirements. We have used the procurement time wisely and are ready to get started.”
