Summary of the contracting process

The Office for National Statistics has completed the procurement process for its "Slack Renewal 2025" project, classified under computer supplies within the goods category. Located in Newport, Wales, the Office engaged in a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, with a total value of £142,715, was awarded on 5th September 2025 to Bytes Software Services Ltd, a large supplier, with the contract period spanning from 15th September 2025 to 14th September 2026. The procurement process is now in the award stage, having previously concluded the tender phase on 22nd August 2025.

This tender offers an opportunity for businesses specialising in large-scale software supply, particularly those capable of providing enterprise-grade software subscriptions. Although the Office for National Statistics preferred experienced suppliers for this large-scale project, opportunities like these highlight potential for small and medium enterprises with similar capabilities to strengthen their credentials and pursue future government contracts. The focus on computer supplies necessitates businesses in the IT and software industry to ensure robust service delivery and compliance with framework requirements to successfully compete in this sector.
