Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work & Pensions has completed the procurement process for the "SAP Business Objects Maintenance (2026)" contract, with the procurement stage reaching completion as of 9th February 2026. This contract involves the provision of IT services specifically related to the consulting, software development, Internet, and support sectors. The contract, valued at an amount of GBP 644,382.69, was awarded through a direct procurement method due to the exclusivity of the services tied to intellectual property rights, with SAP UK Ltd as the sole supplier. This contract will be in effect from 1st January 2026 to 31st December 2026, located in London, UK.

This procurement offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for large IT service providers with capabilities in consulting and software supporting sector. While the direct award limits competition, organisations with similar expertise may benefit from observing the competitive landscape for future opportunities in this vertical market. Firms that can provide proprietary maintenance and support services contribute value to entities like the Department for Work & Pensions, which relies on continuity and specialised knowledge delivered by sole suppliers such as SAP UK Ltd to ensure seamless service operations.
