Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Operational Effectiveness Design" contract has recently concluded, led by the Corporate Officer of the House of Commons in the United Kingdom. This opportunity, under the CPV classification for software support services, focused on the enhancement of operational effectiveness through evidence-based proposals. The primary procurement category is services, and the process was executed using a limited procurement method without prior publication, due to its alignment with a CCS Framework on a mini-competition basis. The tender was initially published and reached completion with the award of the contract on 2nd July 2026. The supplier appointed to fulfil this contract is REPLY LIMITED.

This procurement presents lucrative growth opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, including consulting and software development, as the awarded contract holds a value of £200,000. Companies well-suited to compete in such tenders would typically have strong capabilities in providing high-quality software solutions and meeting social value criteria.
