The procurement concluded with an award on 3rd August 2026 following a tender period that ended on 29th July 2026. The contract, valued at £20,636.75, is set for a duration starting from 20th August 2026 to 19th July 2027, and is focused in England, United Kingdom.

This award notice presents business growth opportunities primarily for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in software solutions and services. With UK Shared Business Services Limited acting as the contracting authority and Chess CyberSecurity Ltd being awarded the contract, businesses well-versed in handling complex IT solutions and frameworks would find themselves particularly suited to such opportunities.
