## Summary

It primarily falls within the "IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support" category, classified under CPV code 72000000. This tender has been awarded following a selective procurement process via a call-off from a framework agreement, with the contract period running from 29th June 2026 to 28th September 2026. The initiative targets multiple locations including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories. The procurement process is in the Award stage, with the contract having been awarded to Answer Digital Limited on 3rd July 2026 for a value of £164,160.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for firms specialising in IT services to engage in government-backed projects, offering the potential to demonstrate expertise in data management and road safety improvements. Enterprises capable of delivering high-quality data analysis and interoperability solutions, particularly those qualified as small and medium enterprises (SMEs), would find this project aligns with their capabilities. The collaboration promises not only direct business growth through government contracts but also bolsters credentials in public sector digital innovation, thereby enhancing future competitive potential in similar tenders.
