This initiative falls under the industry category of IT services, including consulting, software development, Internet, and support, and was procured as part of a direct award process under the G-Cloud 14 framework Lot 3 - Cloud Support. This contract, which commenced in May 2026 and spans an eight-month period, has been awarded to Change Network Limited. The project is based in the United Kingdom, primarily facilitated through strategic procurement managed by the RBKC. The procurement stage is complete, with the procurement method described as a limited, award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, covering the procurement regulations applicable under Directive 2014/24/EU.
