Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process for the provision of hardware, software, and specialist services was led by FCDO Services, a government entity located in Milton Keynes, England. The procurement was under the industry category of software package and information systems with a contract value of £146,750. The process was a selective procurement method executed as a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement stage is now at the award phase, having been completed on 18th June 2025, with key dates including the end of the tender period on 27th May 2025 and the contract running from 28th May 2025 to 31st March 2026.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses specialising in information technology services, particularly those that provide hardware and software solutions, to gain experience in government contracts and potentially improve their stature within the sector. Given the selective procurement method via a framework agreement, smaller and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are deemed suitable competitors, aligning the process with organisations like COMPUTACENTER UK LTD, which has been awarded the contract. Engaging in such a procurement process can provide valuable exposure and credentials for businesses seeking to expand within the public sector market.
