Summary of the contracting process

The Cabinet Office has awarded a contract titled "GCF GCC Platform Transition & Provision" under the industry category of IT services: consulting, software development, Internet, and support. The procurement's purpose is to provide, host, manage, and configure the existing suite of digital platforms for the key Learning Programs of the GCF. Notably, this process follows a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract award was finalised on 4th November 2024, with the contract period set to commence on 4th February 2025 and end on 3rd February 2028. The procurement process has progressed to the Award stage, and the location of delivery is within the United Kingdom, with an estimated value of £831,666.57.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for companies specialising in IT services, including consulting, software development, Internet services, and support, to provide long-term solutions to a high-profile government entity. However, it expressly excludes SMEs and VCSEs, suggesting that large businesses with substantial resources and expertise are the preferred candidates. Businesses that have a strong track record in managing digital platforms and offering comprehensive IT support are well-suited to compete in similar future procurements, thus promoting business growth and expanded service portfolios in the public sector.
