Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport (DfTc) has completed a tender process for the procurement of an Internal Events Management Tool aimed at supporting the DfT internal communications events programme. This contract, classified under IT services (CPV code 72000000), was conducted using a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The project is based in London, United Kingdom, and falls within the services category. The procurement stage has reached the award phase with ZOHO Corporation Limited being the successful supplier. The awarded contract value is £50,000 and spans from 30th March 2026 to 29th March 2028. The offer was made official on 13th April 2026, following the end of the tender period on 20th March 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for growth, particularly for IT service businesses focusing on digital solutions and consulting. SMEs can especially benefit given the suitability alignment; however, the scale of the awarded supplier, ZOHO Corporation Limited, indicates that both small and larger enterprises are considered. Businesses keen on tech-driven event management solutions, particularly those capable of delivering sophisticated software development and internet support services, are well-suited to compete in future similar procurements from the Department for Transport.
