The procurement is currently in the planning stage, having undergone a preliminary market engagement to assess capabilities and commercial models. The tender is above the threshold and involves service delivery within the United Kingdom, with contracts expected to commence on 28th September 2026 and lasting until 27th September 2029, with possible renewals until 2031. This project is part of the GCA framework RM6175 Lot 5, and the legal basis for the procurement is cited under UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender represents a strategic opportunity for businesses specialising in document management and scanning services to partner with a central government authority.
