Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions in London, United Kingdom, has completed the procurement process for Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) Software Licences, classified under the CPV scheme as 'Software package and information systems'. The procurement utilised a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Computacenter (UK) Ltd and spans from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with a contract value of £1,272,018.14. This award follows the tender period which concluded on 25 February 2026, and the award was published on 31 March 2026.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software solutions and information systems. Although this selective tender was awarded through a call-off from a framework, it exemplifies the Department's continued investment in IT services. Companies experienced in lifecycle management and capable of delivering scalable software solutions to governmental bodies could position themselves well for future framework inclusions or similar opportunities. Such contracts can lead to substantial growth, especially for well-established companies with the capacity to handle large-scale service delivery across governmental entities.
