Summary of the contracting process

Post Office Limited, a central government public authority based in London, has recently completed a procurement process for "Code Support Services" involving their Horizon Platform. This procurement falls under the IT services industry category, focusing on consulting, software development, Internet, and support services. The process, identified by tender ID C103491 and legal basis UKPGA 2023/54, followed a direct procurement method below the competitive threshold, resulting in the award stage completion on 6th May 2025. The contract period for this service will commence on 14th May 2025 and conclude on 13th June 2025, covering various UK regions such as UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. The awarded contract to COFORGE U.K. LIMITED, also based in London, is valued at £14,125.00 (excluding tax).

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in IT services, particularly those specialising in code support for complex platforms like Horizon. Companies with capabilities in consulting and software development can find profitable engagements in supporting critical services used by large central government organisations. Since the procurement method was direct and below the competitive threshold, it hints at the importance of having strong relationships and demonstrating notable prior expertise in such specialised areas. Large and well-established IT service providers, such as COFORGE U.K. LIMITED, are well-suited for these opportunities, leveraging their scale and capabilities to support government projects effectively.
