The contract falls under the information technology services category and is classified according to the CPV code 72222300, with additional classification for information technology requirements review services. The procurement method used was a direct award, with the tender process now complete. The contract is active, commencing on 11th June 2025 and concluding on 10th June 2027.

Although the contract was directly awarded to LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, similar tenders could attract competitive bids from other large-scale technology service providers focusing on regional growth and innovation strategies. Engaging in such contracts can enable businesses to solidify their presence in the public sector market and leverage networking platforms to expand their client base. Companies with robust IT service offerings and a keen understanding of technological infrastructure needs would be well-positioned to compete in future procurement processes of this nature.
