The procurement, under the industry category of software package and information systems, was facilitated by the Crown Commercial Services (CCS) G-Cloud 14 Framework Agreement, specifically Lot 3: Cloud support. This selective procurement utilised a call-off method from a framework agreement, with a contract value of £91,736.87. The contracting process, which is now at the award stage, includes a contract period from 27 February 2025 to 26 February 2026, covering delivery throughout England in the United Kingdom.
