The Crown Commercial Service (CCS), acting on behalf of the Cabinet Office, has completed the procurement for the 'Provision of Covid-19 Inquiry File Sharing Platform'. This procurement falls under the services category specifically for database software packages. The contract, valued at £37,000, was awarded to Egress Software Technologies Limited and covers various regions across the United Kingdom, including England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, as well as the Isle of Man, Guernsey, and Jersey.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specializing in secure file sharing and data management solutions, particularly those experienced in handling sensitive and large-scale data transfers. Although the procurement method was selective, businesses with presence in multiple UK regions may find similar opportunities advantageous, especially as the demand for secure data solutions grows.
