## Summary

The procurement process for the "Dolphin Development" project, initiated by the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office, encompasses the software package and information systems industry, specifically located in the South West of England. This tender, which has already been awarded, engaged a selective procurement method through a call-off from an existing framework agreement. The contract has a total value of £960,000 and spans from 6th December 2017 to 30th June 2019. The tenders were submitted by 27th November 2017, indicating that the process is now complete.
