The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) has recently completed the procurement process for "Tactical Application Development for MP&DD." This service-related procurement falls under the IT software development services category (CPV code: 72212517) and was carried out using a limited procurement method with an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition.
