Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

HM Treasury has awarded a contract to Snowflake Computing UK Limited for a "Proof of Concept" project, allowing them to test integration technologies. This project falls under the category of IT services, specifically consulting, software development, Internet, and support, and is located within the United Kingdom. The procurement process followed was "selective," conducted through a call-off from a framework agreement. The initial tender period concluded on the 5th of January, 2026. The contract commenced on the 9th of January, 2026, and will run until the 8th of January, 2027. Although the award was published on the 6th of February, 2026, the focus of the project is to inform technical and business requirements, with the final status marked as complete.

This contract presents an opportunity for large IT service companies to extend their market footprint by collaborating with a significant government department such as HM Treasury. Businesses specialising in IT consulting, software development, and integration technologies could benefit from the insights and requirements emerging from this project. While the contract is specifically tailored for larger organisations, as indicated by the exclusion of SMEs and VCSEs, it could pave the way for technology firms to demonstrate their capabilities and potentially secure further government contracts in the future.
