The Department for Education (DfE), located in London, has completed the tender process for the renewal of its Team Collaboration Software, specifically the Business+ licensing for Slack. This procurement is classified under the software package and information systems industry category. The process involved a selective procurement method conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement with the tender's value being £177,204. The procurement stage has reached the award phase as of 28th November 2025. The contract period spans from 3rd November 2025 to 2nd November 2026, and covers delivery to various regions including the United Kingdom and the British Overseas Territories.
