Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "PAS Application Support Services" has been awarded by the Business Services Organisation ITS, based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. This tender falls under the industry category of IT services, specifically consulting, software development, Internet, and support. The contract was awarded on 28th July 2026, and it is in the award stage, with a contract period set from 1st November 2026 to 31st October 2027.
