Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Content Ops Proof of Concept" is managed by the Department for International Trade, based in London, England. This project seeks to provide services related to a Content Ops Proof of Concept Pilot within the information technology services sector. The procurement method utilised is selective, operating as a call-off from a framework agreement, with a total contract value of £40,000. The tender period concluded on 15 January 2021, and the contract was awarded on 26 February 2021, with the execution period running from 2 March 2021 to 14 May 2021.

This tender presents opportunities for both small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) within the IT services industry.
