## Summary

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), located in Manchester, England, has completed the award stage of the procurement process for the provision of Digital, Data, and Technology (DDaT) resources to support its Data Practice. The contract, under the information technology services category, involves selective procurement through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender closed on 13 March 2025, with a contract period starting on 14 March 2025 and ending on 13 March 2027. The total contract awarded amounts to £15,627,926, paid in GBP. Olive Jar Digital Limited has been selected as the supplier for this contract.

This considerable contract presents ample opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in information technology services to collaborate and provide innovative solutions to the DWP. SMEs focusing on DDaT roles can leverage this opportunity to grow their business by working closely with a major government department. Although the contract is suitable for SMEs, it does not specify inclusivity for voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). With the extensive delivery coverage including British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom, businesses with a broad operational capability stand a good chance of participating successfully in similar future procurements.
