The contract, valued at £224,820, falls under the services category (CPV Code: 48000000) and was awarded following a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period spans from 14 August 2019 to 14 August 2020. The procurement was completed with the award formally published on 9 October 2019, with critical milestones occurring within the tender period that concluded on 2 August 2019.

This tender presents significant opportunities for software development and IT service companies, particularly those specialising in cloud services and data management, as it entails maintaining a high service availability for the UK Trade Tariff platform. Businesses that demonstrate compliance with security accreditations such as ISO 27001 would be well-suited to compete, especially those experienced in interacting with government platforms and managing intricate data processes that cater to customs requirements. The ongoing nature of support for the migration to the new Customs Declaration Service (CDS) indicates a sustainable demand for qualified suppliers in this sector.
