Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Safenames - UKHSA Domain Name Management 25/26" was conducted by the UK Health Security Agency. It involves the management of the UKHSA's internet domain name portfolio, classified under the CPV code 72417000. This services contract was executed through a selective procurement method, specifically a competitive procedure with negotiation above the threshold. The contract, valued at GBP 11,312.09, covers a period from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The procurement has reached the award stage, as confirmed on 27th March 2025. The main location associated with this contract is in Milton Keynes, UK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses operating in the domain name management and internet services sectors. However, it is particularly suitable for established firms given the UK's CPV classification's specificity and procurement scale, as evidenced by the involvement of SAFENAMES LTD as the awarded supplier. Although small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) might find this procurement less directly applicable, companies capable of handling selective procurement processes and involved in internet domain management could leverage this opportunity to strengthen their service portfolios and gain foothold with government contracts.
