## Summary

The procurement process for a subscription to press office management software has been carried out by the DfTc - Department for Transport, with a total value of £14,400. The contract period commenced on 1st May 2020 and extends until 30th April 2021. This direct procurement method, executed through a single tender action, was initiated due to the impending expiration of the current subscription on 30th April 2020. The service falls under the category of networking and internet software, aimed at enhancing internal communication particularly during incident responses, and was located in the South East of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses within the software services industry, particularly those focusing on networking and internet solutions, to expand their market reach. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage, as this procurement was designated suitable for them. The DfTc may require ongoing support for similar software solutions, providing a pathway for sustained business growth for competitive suppliers in this field.
