Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport procured three Dataminr Watchfloor accounts, a software and IT service requirement for monitoring and alerting. The service is for delivery in London. The named requirement is limited to three accounts; no wider implementation or support tasks are described.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Bytes Software Services Limited. The award was made on 11 August 2026, for £76,609. The contract period runs from 25 August 2026 to 24 August 2027. The Department for Transport used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 3 August 2026. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No evaluation criteria or scoring basis are recorded in the procurement details.

This award shows the Department for Transport buying a small number of Dataminr Watchfloor accounts through a framework call-off, with a software services supplier selected to provide them. A supplier competing for the same requirement in future would need access to the relevant Dataminr product and the ability to supply and support the required accounts for a public-sector customer. The scale is a three-account software requirement rather than a large bespoke IT delivery. The selected supplier was an SME, and the procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller software and IT service businesses can be credible competitors for this type of purchase. Familiarity with framework call-off processes would also be relevant.
