Summary of the contracting process

The buying organisation, Pension Protection Fund, recently completed a procurement process for a "Managed File Transfer solution (MFT)" in the software-related services category. This tender utilised a selective procurement method by calling off from a framework agreement. The tender aimed to implement a secure MFT solution that automates, encrypts and streamlines data transfers using a centralised enterprise-level approach. The contract, initially set for 24 months, includes options to extend for two additional 12-month periods, with an overall value of £485,108 including VAT. The contract execution period is from 7 September 2021 to 6 September 2025, covering delivery locations in Croydon (CR0 2NA) and broader London in the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in software-related services, particularly those capable of providing advanced data transfer solutions. Contracts of this nature can help businesses to secure long-term engagements with prominent public sector clients like the Pension Protection Fund. Given the selective procurement method and the scale of the project, larger companies with substantial experience in managed file transfer systems are likely to be well-suited to compete and deliver value on such contracts.
