This procurement falls under the IT services category, specifically consulting, software development, internet, and support, and covers multiple regions, including British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, the United Kingdom, and other international locations. The procurement process was carried out through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £5,000,000, was awarded on 30th August 2024, running until 30th August 2026.
