The project is part of the data warehouse remediation programme aimed at enhancing security features for DWP’s corporate memory. The contract delivery is expected between 3 January 2025 and 31 March 2025, with a total contract value of £52,920 GBP. The work will be implemented across various regions including British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and United Kingdom.

Given the scale and security requirements of the project, firms with experience in large-scale IT infrastructure and government contracts would be well-suited to compete. While the awarded supplier is a large entity, the ongoing demand for security services offers prospects for various IT consultancies and support companies to engage in similar future tenders. Furthermore, the DWP's commitment to enhancing data security reflects a steady market for sustained business partnerships and growth in the IT sector.
