Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is spearheaded by the Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) in England, focusing on the "eCoC Service development and delivery" project. This initiative falls under the IT services industry category, specifically dealing with consulting, software development, internet, and support. The procurement utilised a selective method as a call-off from the Crown Commercial Services' G-Cloud 14 framework agreement. The project encompasses diverse delivery locations, including the British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, and the United Kingdom, among others. The tender process was completed and an award has been made, with the contract running from 8th December 2025 to 30th June 2026. The contract’s total value stands at £324,000.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those adept in application development and system support. Although the call-off was not targeted specifically at SMEs or voluntary and community sector enterprises, large-scale companies with capabilities in developing and managing electronic certification systems would be well-suited to such contracts. Businesses aiming to expand their footprint across various British territories and Europe would find this contract strategically beneficial for growth and market penetration.
