The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has completed a procurement process with the awarded contract titled "DWP - Open Text - OpenPass and Exstream." This tender, under the industry category of software package and information systems, covers OpenText OpenPass licences including support and maintenance. The contract has a value of £953,533.13 and spans multiple delivery locations including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the rest of the world. The procurement stage is in the award phase, with the contract period set from 31st December 2024 to 30th December 2027. The procurement method employed was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, with an end tender period date of 19th December 2024.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses that specialise in software packages and information systems, specifically those capable of providing licenses, support, and maintenance services. Large enterprises with the capability to service a broad geographic area, including international regions, are particularly well-suited to benefit from this contract. The successful bidder, Specialist Computer Centres plc, indicates the need for firms with robust infrastructure and scale suitable for handling comprehensive software solutions at a high level of operational service. Despite the focus on larger enterprises, the cascade effect of subcontracting opportunities may also benefit smaller businesses in related sectors.
