Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by the Department for Work & Pensions, is titled "CAN 008 - extension" and focuses on the IT services industry. The contract pertains to services such as consulting, software development, Internet, and support. This central government authority, based in London, seeks to extend an existing contract from 1st April 2026 to 30th September 2026. The procurement method applied is direct, indicating a below-threshold procurement without competition, and the tender status is marked as complete.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those capable of delivering digital corporate services.
