## Summary

The procurement process for the "Cross-cutting, Exit and Transition Project Work" was conducted by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), located in London, United Kingdom. This tender falls under the IT services industry category, specifically focusing on consulting, software development, internet, and support. The procurement method was selective, using a call-off from a framework agreement. The award stage of the process is now complete, and the contract was awarded on 1st November 2025 to Capgemini UK Plc, with the contract period extending from 1st November 2025 to 30th April 2026. The involved locales include the United Kingdom, British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and globally. The total contract value is £7,500,000.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for large-scale IT services providers looking to expand their portfolio in public sector contracts, especially those with expertise in data centre transition and IT service migration. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find this project less aligned with their core capabilities due to the scope and size of the required services. Nevertheless, businesses capable of handling complex IT infrastructure projects and those with a strategic interest in working with Defra or enhancing their footprint in extensive IT projects across multiple regions would be well-positioned to pursue similar opportunities in the future.

## Notice
