This contract falls within the IT services industry, specifically focusing on consulting, software development, and Internet support. The project, identified under tender ID C5090, is aimed at developing prerequisites for the piloting and rollout of a Modern Data Platform and the associated Data Transformation initiative. The tender process has been completed, with key dates including the signing of the contract on 15th December 2025. The procurement method utilised was limited, not involving the publication of a call for competition, in accordance with public contract regulations concerning additional deliveries by the original supplier. The contract, valued at £54,150, has been awarded to Simpson Associates Information Services Limited, a small to medium-sized enterprise situated in York.
