Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions is inviting suppliers to participate in the tender for the 'Future service design discovery Centric'. This procurement falls under the category of IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support (CPV code 72000000). The project aims to enable a user-centred, strategically aligned migration from SAS 9.4 to SAS Viya. The procurement method is selective, using a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement stage is currently in the tender phase, with the tender period ending on 17 January 2025. The contract is expected to start on 20 January 2025 and conclude by 31 March 2025, covering various locations including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The total value of the contract is approximately GBP 148,000, with a minimum value of GBP 740,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT consulting and support services, particularly those with expertise in SAS software solutions. Companies experienced in software development and strategic IT service implementations will find this project particularly suitable. The framework nature of the agreement implies continued collaboration possibilities and a steady stream of revenue for the successful bidder. However, it is worth noting that the suitability criteria do not favour SMEs or VCSEs, suggesting that larger enterprises with substantial resources are likely more suited to compete. This tender offers a tangible opportunity for business growth through the delivery of critical IT transformation projects within the public sector.
