## Summary

The Department for Culture Media & Sport, located in London, recently completed a public procurement process with the title "App development across various app stores to identify and map security and privacy guidance." This initiative, classified under IT services (CPV Code: 72000000), aimed to develop an application across 12 app stores including Google and Apple, and was awarded to Apadmi Ltd. The contract, valued at £46,410, commenced on 28th May 2021 and concluded on 13th August 2021. This was a selective procurement method using a call-off from a framework agreement, with a tender period that ended on 5th May 2021.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in app development and software consulting, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs). The experience gained in navigating the complexities of multiple app store requirements may enhance the competitive edge for these businesses in future tenders. Companies with expertise in security and privacy guidance in the context of application development would be especially well-positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future.
