Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process conducted by WM5G LIMITED involves a consultancy agreement titled "Consultancy Agreement for DDS Automation & AI Technology Roadmap". Based in Birmingham, the buying organisation is a public undertaking that focuses on developing technology solutions. This contract, identified as "PROC DMC CT-001-2026", falls under the services category, specifically systems and technical consultancy services, and has a delivery location in the UKG region. The procurement method was direct and below threshold, thus conducted without competition. The contract period commenced on 23rd March 2026 and is set to end on 14th August 2026, with the potential for extensions if necessary. The tender's legal basis is backed by UK legislation 2023/54.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in automation and AI technology, especially those focused on systems and technical consultancy services. With an awarded contract value of GBP 31,250 (excluding VAT) to Breathe Software Limited, an SME located in Rodney Stoke, businesses of similar size and capability may find competitive advantage in this sector.
