Summary of the contracting process

HM Treasury procured a software and information systems service to automate the logging of correspondence and Freedom of Information cases. The requirement is for an automation solution supporting the capture and management of these case types, rather than general software supply. It is classified as a services procurement and the work is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. HM Treasury, based at 1 Horse Guards Road, London, is the buying organisation. The requirement is relevant to providers of case-management, workflow automation, correspondence-tracking or FOI technology, particularly those able to configure and support systems for central government administrative processes.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. HM Treasury used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 31 July 2024 at 23:59. The contract was awarded to CEOX Services Ltd on 5 August 2024 for £94,800. The contract period runs from 18 August 2024 to 17 August 2027. The awarded supplier is the only supplier recorded for this requirement. The opportunity was categorised as a services contract for software and information systems, and the recorded procurement value and awarded value are both £94,800. The contract is active.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates established demand at HM Treasury for automating correspondence and Freedom of Information case logging through a framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need a mature software platform covering structured case capture, workflow management, auditability and retrieval of correspondence and FOI records. Experience of configuring technology for central government, handling sensitive administrative information and supporting users through implementation and ongoing service would strengthen a supplier’s position. The buyer selected a large business rather than an SME or voluntary, community or social enterprise, indicating that comparable providers should be prepared to demonstrate substantial delivery capacity, dependable support and the ability to operate at government scale.
