The Department for Education has concluded the awarding stage for the Cyber Awareness HoxHunt Contract, with Bechtle Direct Ltd being the selected supplier. This framework call-off, valued at £66,399.82, falls under the software support services category. Covering multiple regions throughout the UK, including London, East Midlands, and Yorkshire, amongst others, the contract is set to commence on 1st March 2026 and conclude on 28th February 2027.
