Summary of the contracting process

The F5 Support and Maintenance Renewal tender was successfully awarded by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), located in Manchester, England. This contract falls under the technical support services category and has a total value of £582,753.16 GBP. The contract period commenced on 24 November 2020 and will conclude on 23 November 2021. The procurement method used was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender process was completed prior to the contract start date, as the tender period ended on 4 November 2019.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the technical support services industry seeking to expand their operations with large public sector organisations. Given that the procurement process was selective, it favoured established suppliers like Computacenter (UK) Limited, though larger competitors that can provide similar comprehensive support and maintenance solutions may also find valuable opportunities to compete in future tenders of this nature.
