## Summary

The Office of Water Services (Ofwat), based in Birmingham, has completed a procurement process under the category of IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support. The awarded contract, titled "Website Hosting and Maintenance," was conducted using a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £125,000, involves supporting Ofwat's websites with hosting, maintenance, and security and aims to improve content, user experience, and strategic alignment. The service delivery is planned across England and Wales, with the contract period running from 31 July 2025 to 30 July 2026.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for large-scale IT service providers, given its focus on website optimisation and continuous improvement. James Blake Solutions Ltd, a large entity located in London, has been awarded this contract, indicating their proficiency and capacity to handle substantial service commitments. Companies specialising in digital transformation and IT consultancy may find similar procurement opportunities in collaborations with government bodies like Ofwat, especially those with established frameworks for selective procurement methods.

## Notice

Alongside supporting the organisation with hosting, maintenance and security arrangements, the Supplier selected will play a key role in building on those developments to help us deliver continuous improvements to the website's content, user experience and alignment with strategic objectives. As well as the main Ofwat website, there is the Open Water website. Currently, this is primarily a microsite with set information that needs less frequent updating
