## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has completed the procurement process for "Oracle Business Critical Support" under the classification of Application Service Providers (CPV code 72416000). This direct procurement, conducted as a single tender action below threshold, has been awarded to Oracle Corporation UK Ltd. The process, starting from the planning stage, culminated in an award on 20th August 2024, with the contract period running from 20th September 2024 to 19th September 2025. The contract value is £87,000, and the services will be delivered in London, United Kingdom, specifically at the postal code SW1P 4DF. Key dates include the tender end date on 30th August 2024.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in providing essential IT support services, particularly those specialising in migration into cloud environments. While the competition was strictly controlled with a direct award, this procurement underlines the importance of maintaining relationships with large governmental bodies such as DEFRA. Businesses that are well-suited for such opportunities typically have a strong portfolio in specialised IT services and can demonstrate reliability and expertise in handling government contracts, even though this particular contract was not open to SMEs or VCSEs.
