The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has concluded the procurement process for the "DWP Public Services Network DNS" project. This procurement falls under the Information Technology Services category and involves the provision of Public Services Network (PSN) Domain Name Server (DNS) services, which are integral for secure digital communication within the government and the wider public sector. The contract, valued at GBP 572,429.80, covers multiple locations including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and the rest of the world.
