Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Transport has successfully completed a procurement process for an "IT Text Messaging Service" aimed at providing an SMS text system to alert ETHOS and other IT system failures, replacing the existing web-based bulk text messaging service. This contract, classified under software programming and consultancy services, was valued at £55,000 and was initiated through a direct procurement method involving a single tender action below the threshold. The tender period ended on 2nd May 2018, and the contract commenced on 7th May 2018, running until 6th May 2021, with the organisation based in London, England, and services delivered in Wales.
