Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent progress his Department has made on implementing the MODnet Evolve Programme.

Significant progress has been made on the MODNET Evolve programme over the last quarter.

The development of the next generation MODNET Official service is nearing completion, and rollout of the new service to Ministry of Defence's (MOD) 200,000 users worldwide began in February 2025 with the start of the rollout to the 700-user pilot group.

The new Managed Print Service has been rolled out to over 95% of sites worldwide, with the remainder due for completion this financial year. This is providing a more secure and easier to use service, while saving MOD circa £26 million across the life of the new contract.

The contract for the MODNET Secret service was signed in December 2024, and is on track to achieve Service Transition by end June 2025 resulting in formal exit from the ATLAS contract.

All these contracts deliver considerable cost savings to defence, enhance the quality of service to users, and ensure MOD has a modern ICT infrastructure that aligns to the Department’s need.
