Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement contract titled "CAPTURE Document Disclosure" was issued by the Department for Business & Trade, situated in London, United Kingdom. The procurement process, in the services industry category, involved a direct award to Post Office Ltd. Due to the specific information only they possessed, the supplier was crucial in facilitating the Capture Redress Scheme. This scheme aims to address losses incurred by postmasters from 1992 to 2000. The contract was signed on 5th December 2025, with an active status as of the latest award date on 8th January 2026, and is expected to run until 28th October 2030, unless all claims are processed earlier.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses familiar with data processing and document disclosure services, particularly those who can provide specialised information in similar schemes. Large-scale businesses with expertise in miscellaneous business services and systems handling related to past government software may find this to be a growth opportunity. The direct award nature of this procurement method underscores the value of holding key proprietary information, suggesting that businesses looking to compete in future contracts may benefit from developing unique insights and capabilities that can serve public sector requirements.
