Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office has awarded a contract for mobile application vetting services to SoftwareOne, a large-scale supplier. This procurement process falls under the industry category of subscription services, specifically focusing on the provision of goods through a selective procurement method with a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement stage is currently at the award stage, and the contract, valued at £49,094, will run from 23rd April 2025 to 22nd April 2026. The delivery of services will be based in London, United Kingdom, as specified in the contract details. The tender process was completed with relevant dates including the end of the tender period on 17th April 2025 and the publication of the award on 24th April 2025. The main buyer, located at 2 Marsham Street, London, SW1P 4DF, is actively involved in this process.

This contract presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in mobile application security to engage with a significant government department, potentially leading to further collaboration and contracts. Given the focus on a selective procurement method, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in subscription services may find this a favourable prospect. This contract can serve as a stable revenue stream over the contract period and strengthens a supplier's portfolio by associating with a major government organisation, the Home Office. Businesses in the technological solutions sector, particularly those offering niche vetting services, are well-positioned to leverage such opportunities for growth and development.
