Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport (DfTc) in London has awarded a contract titled "Supply of ServiceNow Licences," which falls under the software package and information systems industry category. The tender was conducted using a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period spans from 30th June 2026 to 29th January 2027, with the award date published on 26th July 2026. The awarded value of the contract is £498,638, against an initial estimated value of £3,000,000, with Specialist Computer Centres Plc operating as the supplier for this project.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in IT software services, particularly those experienced in working with ServiceNow products.
