Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport procured a press office contact management solution, classified as an IT service. The requirement is for a system supporting the department’s press office contact management. Delivery is in London. The purchasing organisation is the Department for Transport, based in Westminster. The procurement is a service rather than a supply of goods or a construction project.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Onclusive UK Limited. The award date was 3 October 2022, and the contract period runs from 1 November 2022 to 31 October 2026. The awarded value is £200,000. The Department for Transport used a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement. The submission deadline was 3 October 2022. The award was for the overall requirement; no separate lots are recorded. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to take part. The published outcome identifies the successful supplier but gives no further account of how bids were evaluated.

This award shows that the Department for Transport buys press office contact management as a defined IT service through a framework call-off. The selected supplier is an SME, demonstrating that this requirement was delivered by a smaller specialist rather than necessarily requiring a large systems integrator. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide a contact management solution suited to press office work and have the capacity to support the department’s London-based operation. Experience supplying and supporting comparable software or IT services would be relevant. The record identifies no specific technical standards, accreditations or specialist qualifications, so the clearest indication of supplier fit is the ability to deliver this focused contact-management service through the framework route.
