Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for IT services initiated by the University of Plymouth has reached the award stage, where Infuse Consulting Ltd was selected as the supplier. This contract, procured through a selective method as a call-off from the GCloud14 framework agreement, involves testing services for the SRS programme. The project is valued at £89,310 and is classified under the CPV code 72000000, which pertains to IT services such as consulting and software development. The contract spans from 1st July 2025 to 29th August 2026, with activities to be carried out in the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses geared towards IT consulting and software development.

Engaging in this contract can foster growth for IT firms looking to expand their footprint in the public sector, especially those with expertise in testing services for advanced programmes.
