Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "VME Licenses" tender was conducted by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) in the IT services industry. The process ultimately concluded with an award made on 1st February 2018, for a total value of £43,263,470. The contract period spans from 24th February 2018 to 23rd February 2020, and was procured through a limited method, specifically negotiated without a call for competition. The tender effectively closed on 1st February 2018, while the buying organisation is based in Blackpool, England.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in IT services, particularly those offering consulting, software development, and support. Companies that specialise in creating software solutions or providing IT infrastructure are well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts. The engagement of a large supplier, such as Fujitsu Services Limited, suggests that the DWP values established providers, but there may still be room for agile and innovative SMEs to deliver niche services or specialised products within this domain.
