This procurement is in the planning stage and has a total budget of £20,000 with a minimum value of £15,000. The contract will commence on 22nd September 2017 and is expected to run until 20th September 2018. Suppliers expressing interest must submit their responses by 28th July 2017, with the opportunity particularly relevant to those within the IT services industry, including consulting and software development sectors based in London, United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for IT companies, especially small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can provide tailored support to organisations with limited internal IT expertise. Providers specialising in technology updates, cyber security solutions, and IT strategy development will find this an ideal chance to establish partnerships with a government body. By participating, businesses can enhance their visibility and potentially secure ongoing project work with the Housing Ombudsman Service, contributing to long-term growth and experience in the public sector landscape. ## Notice This is an Expressions of Interest to suppliers who may be interested in supporting the Housing Ombudsman understand and deliver an IT strategy and approach which is suitable for an organisation of its size.
