Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process, initiated by the Cabinet Office, involves a contract for "Website Maintenance, Hosting and Development for the Infected Blood Inquiry," falling under the services category with the CPV classification "World Wide Web (www) site operation host services." This procurement, valued at £89,362.50, was conducted through a direct, single tender action. The contract started on 1st July 2024 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2026. Based in the United Kingdom, the tender was at the award stage, with an active award date of 18th July 2024. Digital Craftsmen Ltd, based in London, was the supplier chosen for this contract.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, especially for companies specialising in digital services, such as website development and hosting. However, this particular contract cycle demonstrated a preference for larger firms, as noted by the suitability criteria that did not target small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs). Future similar contracts may offer avenues for large-scale digital service providers to expand their portfolio by collaborating with a prestigious governmental body like the Cabinet Office.
