## Summary

The Department for Work and Pensions has recently completed the procurement process for the "Attribute Exchange Proof of Concept," aimed at utilising the Gluu Product Suite for identity and access management solutions. This public procurement, classified under IT services (CPV code 72000000), had a total contract value of £72,500. The tender was a direct procurement action, initiated on 3rd June 2019 and completed by the same date, with the official award published on 18th June 2019. The project was carried out in Blackpool, North East England, with the contract spanning until 31st December 2019.

This contract opportunity can propel business growth for companies specialising in IT services, particularly those offering consulting, software development, and support. As the project focused on Proof of Concept solutions, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with innovative approaches in identity and access management could find themselves well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts within the public sector. The successful supplier, Onaware Limited, exemplifies the kind of larger firms that might also be engaged, but there is room for SMEs to leverage their agility and specialized expertise in this field.
