Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process described involves the Department for Work and Pensions, seeking a software licence for a SAS Grid License related to the ATAS DRS project. This contract, valued at £1,900,000 and classified under the CPV description of software package and information systems, was awarded on 25th September 2017, with a contract duration running until 28th September 2018. The procurement method used was a single supplier approach, indicating a direct award rather than a competitive tendering process.

This tender exemplifies opportunities for software and IT service providers, particularly those specialising in advanced analytics and grid computing technologies, to expand their market presence. Since the contract was awarded directly to SAS, other businesses in the software and technology sector may explore future tenders or collaborations with the Department for Work and Pensions, potentially leveraging their competencies to meet similar government IT requirements.
