Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "HCS Services Support" is managed by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), focusing on the provision of hardware consultancy services. This contract, with a value of £499,900, aims to enhance the operational capacity of the DWP through improved storage and technical delivery management capabilities. The procurement process is currently in the Award stage, having been finalised with an active award made to Netcompany UK Limited on 24th October 2018. The contract is set to commence on 1st November 2018 and will run until 31st October 2020. The relevant procurement method employed was a selective approach through a call-off from a framework agreement in the North West region of England.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for IT service providers, particularly those specialising in consultancy related to hardware and computer-related services. Firms with expertise in storage solutions, UNIX systems, and technical delivery management are particularly well-suited to compete, especially should similar projects arise in the future. As the DWP seeks to automate processes and move towards a catalogue-based service provision, businesses that can demonstrate innovative solutions and efficiency improvements in their proposals will likely find success in these types of contracts.
