The tender falls under the industry category of Information Technology Services and involves the implementation of a new data governance framework. The procurement method was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The location for delivery spans various regions, including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories. The project commenced on 1st April 2025 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2026. The tender period ended on 28th March 2025, with the contract subsequently awarded to UBDS IT Consulting Ltd on 31st March 2025, valued at £1,139,017.46.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in information technology services, especially those with expertise in data strategy and governance. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) particularly stand to benefit, given the procurement's suitability criteria. Companies that can contribute to developing comprehensive data strategies and onboarding new datasets for health services would be well-suited to compete for similar opportunities with the DWP and other governmental departments seeking to enhance their digital capabilities.
