The project falls under the industry category of software packages and information systems (CPV code 48000000). The procurement was conducted through a selective method, specifically via a call-off from a framework agreement, and the process stage has reached the award phase. The contract, valued at approximately £1,022,735.05, commenced on 27th March 2025 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2026. Products and services for this contract are to be delivered across several regions, including the United Kingdom and multiple overseas territories.

With its focus on delivering a robust IT infrastructure, businesses specialising in these areas, particularly SMEs, would be well-positioned to compete and collaborate on such projects. While the contract has been awarded to large-scale enterprise boxxe Limited, other businesses can derive insights from such opportunities to enhance their competitive edge, expand their reach to governmental organisations, and showcase capabilities in handling large-scale IT environments. The emphasis on SMEs indicates a favourable stance towards enabling smaller firms to partake in future government-related procurement opportunities.
