Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process, managed by the Disclosure and Barring Service based in Liverpool, UK, involves the award for "Oracle Market Driven Support (MDS) 2026" through the BOS2 framework. The procurement, classified under CPV code 72261000 for Software support services, is now in the award stage, having been completed on 21st November 2025. This limited procurement method did not require prior publication for competition and was awarded directly to Oracle Corporation UK Limited, valued at GBP 239,610. The procurement falls within the services category and is tied to the social protection sector.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for large-scale firms capable of providing comprehensive software support services, such as Oracle Database upgrade support. Although the procurement followed a direct award process due to its framework stipulations, businesses specializing in delivering high-quality technical software services can align with such niches to gain competitive advantage. Establishing strong credentials in similar service frameworks and looking out for similar direct award opportunities are strategic moves for firms aiming to expand their influence in the public procurement market.
