## Summary

The Government Digital Service has completed a procurement process titled "WP1663 Private Beta/Beta to understand how we can move away from PSN to use networks in the future." This project, which falls under the architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services category, took place in London and involved a total contract value of £240,240.
