Summary of the contracting process

The Government Digital Service has concluded the procurement process for the "Extension for WP2155 GOV.UK Site Search Product" under the industry category of software packages and information systems. The procurement was handled through a selective method, involving a call-off from a framework agreement. Covering regions in the North West, London, and South West of the United Kingdom, the contract commenced on 1 November 2025 and will run until 31 October 2026. The procurement process is currently at the award stage, with the final award notice published on 17 December 2025. The project aims to provide a Vertex AI Standard Edition Licence, enhancing GOV.UK’s site search capabilities.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in software systems and AI technologies. Small and medium-sized enterprises are encouraged to participate, given the tender's suitability criteria; however, the contract has already been awarded to Google Cloud EMEA Limited, a large-scale supplier. Businesses involved in digital service provision and AI licence distribution stand to benefit substantially from this procurement. The substantial contract value of £2,400,000 indicates a robust market opportunity and the potential for establishing relationships with key governmental bodies.
