## Summary

The Department for Work and Pensions, located in Blackpool, England, has completed a procurement process titled "Health & Disability Services AtW Remediation (DISC)", focusing on IT services. This project falls under the CPV code 72000000, covering consulting, software development, Internet, and support. It was conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement using a selective procurement method. The contract, valued at £498,995.34, runs from 16th June 2025 to 12th September 2025, with the award announced on 24th June 2025. The delivery locations span the North West of the United Kingdom, making it a significant opportunity for businesses based in or near this region.

This contract presented a growth opportunity, particularly for large businesses with capabilities in IT services, given the Department for Work and Pensions' requirement for sophisticated services such as legacy system refactoring to align with the Access to Work programme. While SMEs and VCSEs were deemed unsuitable for this tender, firms experienced in managing complex IT solutions and transformations would have been well-positioned to compete. As the contract was awarded to IBM United Kingdom Limited, this sets a precedent for large-scale IT service providers to actively engage in future procurements from government departments.
