## Summary

The procurement process, titled "The Provision of Digital Transformation and Iterative Development Services," was conducted by the Department for Education. This service falls under the IT services industry category, specifically consulting and software development. The procurement method was selective, utilising a call-off from a framework agreement, and took place in Manchester, England. The tender period concluded on 3 April 2017, and the subsequent contract period spanned from 1 May 2017 to 30 April 2018, with the award announced on 28 April 2017. The contract was awarded to Methods Professional Services Ltd.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those engaged in consulting, software development, and digital transformation projects. Companies that can provide iterative development services and respond to requests for quotes (RFQs) with detailed work packages will be well-positioned to compete. Given the nature of the work required, larger firms with experience in delivering complex digital services and the capacity to manage multiple projects simultaneously will likely find this contract appealing.

## Notice

All requests for work, within scope of the agreement, shall be initiated by an authorised employee of the Customer by means of a 'Request for Quote' (RFQ) which will be emailed to the Supplier's nominated representative. The work will be in the form of individual work packages, detailing the specific requirement and timescales needed. This RFQ shall be evaluated against other responses received and if successful the activities, outcomes, delivery and payment profile agreed. The payment profile for each work package will be linked where appropriate, to the milestones and outputs agreed between the Customer and Supplier before work initiation.
