Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, conducted by The Electoral Commission, involved the award of a contract titled "DITF Technical Training" for the delivery of advanced training in Microsoft technologies and tools. Categorised under Software package and information systems (CPV: 48000000) and IT services (CPV: 72000000), the procurement falls within the services sector. The contract, valued at £50,000, was awarded through a selective procurement method, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement stage is at the Award phase, with the decision made and publicised on 1st August 2025, though the award was finalised on 10th June 2025. The service provision is set to occur across multiple regions of the United Kingdom, starting on 26th June 2025 and concluding on 25th June 2026.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialised in IT training and services due to its specific focus on Microsoft technologies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to compete for such contracts, given the procurement’s design to support SME involvement. Firms with expertise in software development, consulting, and IT support, who can bolster their portfolio in the public sector, could leverage this opportunity to enhance their market presence and secure government-related contracts, potentially leading to business expansion and increased credibility in the industry. The successful supplier for this tender, QA Limited, exemplifies a business capable of meeting these needs under the framework agreement.
