York-based tech firm Phoenix Software has secured a £75m contract with the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to provide visibility and control over the department’s software spending.
The three-year deal, called the Value Added Software Agreement (VOSA), is designed to “centralise and optimise the procurement of commercial off-the-shelf software across the MoD”.
Phoenix Software said through the deal VOSA will become the primary route for all software tail spend across the department, providing transparency and efficiency to procurement processes.
“We are delighted to support the Ministry of Defence in this critical transformation,” said Keith Martin, sales director at Phoenix Software.
“VOSA is not just a contract, it’s a platform for innovation, transparency, and long-term value for the UK’s defence community. It will provide the MoD with a much simpler route-to-market for software purchases, while providing greater transparency and optimisation of its software spend.”
The agreement will run until August 2028.
Founded in 1990, Phoenix Software is a provider of software licensing, software asset management and managed IT services.
