The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, with the process being covered under the UKPGA legal framework 2023/54. The contract is valued at approximately £2,600,000 and will span 3 years and 7 months, with a potential extension of 2 x 2 years, starting from 20th April 2026. The service falls under the IT services industry category and is intended for delivery in the United Kingdom, specifically in the region UKE22.

This contract presents significant opportunities for SMEs specialising in IT services, particularly those with expertise in consulting, software development, and internet support.
