Summary of the contracting process

The Post Office has successfully completed the IT Capabilities Framework procurement process, which falls under the industry category of IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support (CPV code 72000000). This contract, valued at £40,000,000, was awarded through a restricted procedure above threshold, involving selective procurement. The procurement stage is now in the 'Award' phase, with the contract period set to run from 20 January 2025 to 19 January 2029. The framework agreement is structured into five lots and encompasses various IT-related services across the United Kingdom.

This tender provides significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for IT enterprises specialising in consultancy, IT security, technical assurance, and application support and management services. Although larger firms primarily comprise the awarded suppliers, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were also deemed suitable for participation. Companies equipped to deliver IT consultancy or those offering robust application management and support services are especially well-positioned to benefit from similar future procurement opportunities facilitated by the Post Office.
