## Summary

The Charity Commission for England and Wales has completed the award process for the 'Data Specialist Partner - Commission Futures Programme' contract. This procurement, focused on IT services such as consulting and software development, aims to enhance the organisation's data architecture and operational data store. The contract, which officially commenced on 1st April 2026, runs until 31st March 2028 and includes potential work in machine learning. Offering a project value of £2,174,850, the contract utilises a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement. The supply work will cover regions including North West, London, South West, and Wales in the United Kingdom. Codec Solutions UK Limited, an SME, has been selected as the supplier, with The Charity Commission in Liverpool as the buyer.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the IT sector, especially those that specialise in data management and architecture. SMEs are well-positioned to leverage their innovation capabilities in this project. Organisations looking to expand into machine learning and data migration might find growth prospects due to future data leverage work within the programme. The contract is particularly suited for IT consultancy firms aiming to cement their foothold in government sector contracts, and for suppliers accustomed to working collaboratively with internal teams and under framework agreements. Building a successful partnership with such high-profile public sector bodies can boost business credibility and open doors for future projects.
