The procurement process conducted by ICS on behalf of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) focused on acquiring licences for project management. Classified under the IT services industry (consulting, software development, Internet, and support), this process was part of a completed award stage. The initiative took place in London, United Kingdom, following the G Cloud 14 framework's call-off method with reference number RM1557.14. The relevant contract, valued at £280,771, is set for a period from 10th December 2025 to 9th December 2027. The process utilised a selective procurement method, specifically designed to choose suppliers from an existing framework, favouring small to medium enterprises (SMEs).

Companies with a track record in effectively managing IT projects are well-positioned to compete, as they can deliver the targeted outcomes and strengthen their business presence in the public sector.
