The contracting process, finalised with a contract signing on 27th November 2025, was conducted via a direct procurement method below threshold and without competition. OneTrust Technology, Ltd., a small to medium enterprise, has been awarded the contract.

Enterprises capable of delivering comprehensive platforms that facilitate user-friendly cookie preference management, ensuring legal compliance across borders, would find this project particularly enriching. Although the contract has been awarded to OneTrust Technology, businesses in the similar industry sectors can still find invaluable insights and precedence in this procurement, guiding future engagement with public sector opportunities that demand similar services and solutions.
