This contract falls under the "Test and evaluation" industry category (CPV code 73430000) and covers multiple regions across the United Kingdom, including North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, South West, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The procurement process was conducted through an open procedure above the threshold, with a total contract value of £9,963,910.40. The initial contract period started on 6th November 2019 and is set to end on 5th November 2026, with the most recent award date being 9th October 2024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in testing and evaluation services, particularly large organisations with the capacity to manage a national testing service. While the suitability criteria do not specifically favour SMEs or VCSEs, the extensive coverage across the UK and the substantial contract value make this a lucrative prospect for companies capable of fulfilling large-scale service contracts. Businesses looking to expand their presence in the public sector and those with robust logistical and operational frameworks are well-suited to compete for such opportunities, bolstered by the project's potential for considerable business growth and long-term engagement.
