Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions has completed an award for a contract titled "CyberArk (PAM)" under the IT services industry category, specifically focusing on consulting, software development, Internet, and support. The procurement process used a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contracting process took place in Manchester, situated in the North West of the United Kingdom, with the contract period commencing on 23rd March 2026 and concluding on 22nd March 2027. The award, published on 15th March 2026, is valued at £6,027,058.3. Softcat Limited, located in Marlow, has been confirmed as the supplier for this contract, following the award announcement on 14th March 2026.

This tender offers significant opportunities for business growth primarily for companies specialising in IT services, especially those providing consulting and software development solutions. However, it is not specifically suited for SMEs or VCSEs, potentially targeting larger enterprises capable of fulfilling such substantial contracts. Given the framework agreement procurement method, it indicates that qualified entities with prior framework collaboration might have competitive advantages. Businesses looking to expand in the IT services sector or establish a robust presence in public sector contracts will find this opportunity particularly rewarding.
