The procurement followed a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The process reached the award stage on 21 November 2024, with the contract starting on 1 December 2024 and ending on 6 December 2029.

The contract's scope and significant budget offer growth potential for companies providing software development, IT consulting, and system support. Large-scale IT service providers, such as the appointed supplier, Atos IT Services UK Limited, are well-suited to compete in this space due to the project's size and complexity. Companies focusing on similar services can benefit from exploring related future opportunities within the public sector. Although this particular contract does not prioritise SMEs or VCSEs, large enterprises in the IT domain stand to gain significantly by engaging in such high-value public contracts.
