The procurement, located in the North East of the United Kingdom, transitioned through the tender stage and reached the award stage. The tender was published with a minimum value of GBP 21,600 and a final value of GBP 43,200. The tender period ended on 5th November 2024, and the contract period is from 11th November 2024 to 10th November 2026. A direct procurement method through a single tender action was used for this process due to its below-threshold status. The awarded contract was published on 18th November 2024.

This tender creates significant opportunities for growth for businesses in the software and IT services sector, specifically those capable of providing electronic signature solutions. The awarded supplier, CDW Limited, is a large-scale organisation based in London, indicating the project’s scale and potential scope for subcontracting or collaboration with smaller firms. Despite the fact that the procurement was not specifically aimed at SMEs or VCSEs, businesses with expertise in software development and IT solutions that can provide robust, secure, and reliable electronic signature software would have been well-suited to compete. This contract highlights the potential for business growth through engagement with public sector IT opportunities.
