This procurement process is managed via the eSourcing suite and pertains to the provision of computer-related professional services under a framework agreement, primarily within the industry category of IT and cyber security services. Located in the UK, the DPS has been extended to 13th February 2029, allowing for competition among suppliers for contracts worth an estimated value of £800 million. This procurement is currently in the tender stage, and suppliers interested in bidding must comply with the Cyber Essentials certification as a mandatory requirement. The procurement follows a selective method, specifically the restricted procedure, permitting a maximum of 999 participants and limiting contract options to ensure quality assurance and testing for IT systems.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in cyber security and related IT services to expand their footprint in servicing central government and the wider public sector. Companies well-suited for this opportunity include those with proven expertise in delivering computer-related services such as quality assurance, testing, and consultancy, who can meet the stringent requirements set forth by the Cyber Essentials scheme.
