Summary of the contracting process

ICS on behalf of DSIT and DESNZ procured information systems and related services for a learning platform, under the requirement titled “DDaT26266 – Data Analytics and Processing Platform”. The work is categorised as information systems (CPV 48810000) and falls within services. Delivery covers the United Kingdom and a wide international footprint, including Europe, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The buyer is ICS acting for the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. The requirement is relevant to suppliers providing learning platforms, data analytics or data-processing platforms, and associated implementation or support services.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. The buyer used a selective call-off from the CCS G-Cloud 14 framework (RM1557.14), rather than running an open competition. The award was made to The Information Lab Ltd on 8 September 2026 for £118,560 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 9 September 2026 to 8 September 2028. The tender submission deadline was 7 September 2026 at 11:00. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The awarded supplier is an active SME. The procurement concerns one requirement, with no separate lots or multiple awarded suppliers identified.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates public-sector demand for a learning platform combining information systems with data analytics and processing. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to provide a robust platform suitable for departmental use across the UK and wider locations, with the capability to support learning delivery and manage or process data reliably. Experience of supplying services through the CCS G-Cloud framework would be commercially relevant, because this requirement was awarded through a framework call-off rather than a standalone open tender. The buyer’s identification of the opportunity as suitable for SMEs also indicates that a focused specialist provider, not only a large systems integrator, can be a credible market participant.
