Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions has awarded a contract titled "Oracle Software Technical Premier Support 2026-2028" under the software support services category. This contract is part of a selective procurement process, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, aimed at providing technical assistance, software updates, and security alerts for Oracle products. The procurement process has reached the award stage with Oracle Corporation UK Limited being the chosen supplier for this contract, valued at £28,000,000. The contract period is set from 6th April 2026 to 5th April 2028, and it is located in Manchester, United Kingdom.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in providing high-level technical support and software maintenance services, particularly those familiar with Oracle technologies. While the Department for Work and Pensions has identified Oracle Corporation UK Limited as the best fit for their needs, other businesses with the capability to deliver similar services could look into participating in future tenders by establishing themselves as competent suppliers in framework agreements. The procurement scale and the budget involved indicate that while this opportunity may not be suited for SMEs or VCSEs, larger enterprises with a robust portfolio in software support can find potential growth opportunities by engaging in similar procurement processes.
