The Department for Education, a central government public authority based in London, United Kingdom, has completed the procurement process for a Policy Profession web developer contract. This tender falls under the services category, specifically IT services including consulting, software development, Internet, and support, with the procurement process identified as a limited competition due to its below-threshold nature. The contract, identified as "con_27478," was awarded to Spindogs, a supplier located in Cardiff, United Kingdom. The contract became active on 18 April 2025 and is set to run until 18 April 2027, reflecting a 2-year term with a contract value amounting to £80,796 gross. The procurement process has passed through the tender and award stages, with the contract having been signed on 9 April 2025.

This web developer contract offers opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in IT services.
