Summary of the contracting process

This contract falls under the IT services industry category, specifically focused on consulting, software development, Internet, and support services. Located in Manchester, England, the procurement stage currently reflected is the award stage, with the contract award date published on 27 January 2026. The tender proceeded via a selective procurement method as a call-off from the CCS framework RM6259 and was classified under Lot 5 for Vertical Application Solutions. The contract period spans from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2032, with a total value of £1,900,000.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities for IT service providers, emphasising sectors such as software maintenance and support, especially for those familiar with the SDS/Corvus System. Given the selective procurement method and the framework nature of the contract, businesses already positioned within such frameworks, or small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with relevant capabilities, would be well-suited to compete. Partnering with large suppliers, like the awarded Insight Direct (UK) Ltd, could also be beneficial to leverage their existing experience and enhance growth potential within public sector supply chains.
