## Summary

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has concluded a contract titled "FDM Phase 5 Graduate Development G-Cloud Contract," which was initiated on 1st December 2017 and spans a period of two years, ending on 30th November 2018. This procurement, categorized under IT services, specifically consulting, software development, internet, and support, involved a total value of £4,883,712. The services were called off as needed to provide junior IT and business consultants across various locations, including North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, and London, utilising a flexible approach to match demand as they supported DWP Digital's business-as-usual activities and project delivery.
