UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cell Therapy Catapult Limited purchased six months of IT support services from Walker Cole International Ltd. The requirement is for information technology support and consultancy, serving the organisation’s IT support needs. Cell Therapy Catapult Limited is based in London, and Walker Cole International Ltd is also based in London. The procurement is a single service requirement rather than a stated package of separate workstreams. The published scope gives the service category and duration but does not break down particular support tasks, systems or user groups. This is therefore most relevant to IT support and consultancy providers able to serve an organisation based in London.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Walker Cole International Ltd. The buyer used a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 13 October 2026, with a service period from 16 October 2026 to 16 April 2027. Its value is £78,000 excluding VAT and £93,600 including VAT. The award covers one lot and the recorded award is active. The stated requirement was six months of IT support services. No separate evaluation criteria are set out; the contract was placed without a competitive tender, so there is no published competitive scoring basis to report.

For suppliers considering similar future work with Cell Therapy Catapult Limited, this award demonstrates demand for a defined, short-term IT support and consultancy service delivered to a London-based organisation. Walker Cole International Ltd, a small or medium-sized business, was selected through a direct award without competition, showing that a supplier of SME scale can provide this kind of requirement. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the capability and capacity to deliver IT support services over a six-month engagement, alongside relevant support and consultancy experience. The published scope does not describe particular technologies, service levels or specialist accreditations, so it does not establish these as requirements. The commercial fit is strongest for providers whose core offer is practical IT support and consultancy, rather than unrelated technology services.
