It falls under the industry category of IT software packages and spans several locations, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the rest of the world, and the United Kingdom. The contract was awarded on 29th June 2026, with a planned start date of 1st July 2026, running until 30th June 2028.
