## Summary

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) procured observability tooling: software and related services used to monitor and understand the performance and operation of digital systems. The classification describes a networking and internet software package, while the tender title identifies the requirement as observability tooling. Delivery is associated with DSIT’s London location at Whitechapel High Street. This is a services requirement, focused on tooling rather than a broader digital transformation or general IT support contract.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Dynatrace Limited through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 17 September 2026, for £249,480. The contract period runs from 26 September 2026 to 25 September 2027. The original estimated procurement value was also £249,480, and submissions were due by 18 September 2026. The process is presented as a single requirement, with no separate lots described. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable to participate. The published data does not set out a separate evaluation formula or detailed scoring criteria.

This award demonstrates DSIT’s demand for observability tooling to support the monitoring of digital systems, delivered through a framework call-off rather than a standalone open competition. Dynatrace Limited was selected for this requirement, giving potential future competitors a concrete indication of the type of supplier DSIT chose. A credible supplier would need to provide observability software suited to networked and internet-based environments, together with the services needed to deliver the tooling. The recorded value and one-year contract period indicate a defined, service-led requirement rather than a large, multi-year infrastructure programme. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable, so suppliers of those types may also be relevant competitors where they can meet the technical requirement and framework route.
