This opportunity falls under the programming services of application software, with a maximum two-year contract value of £30,000. The procurement stage is currently in the active tender phase, with submissions due by 22nd June 2020 at 17:00. The contract is scheduled to start on 30th June 2020, lasting for an initial term of 12 months with the possibility of an additional year. It will be based in the United Kingdom, and the procurement will follow an open procedure, which is typically used for below-threshold contracts. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in health and wellness technologies, particularly those that provide mobile applications aligned with mindfulness practices. Companies offering innovative digital solutions that promote mental well-being would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Given the contract's flexibility for extension, it could be a great avenue for smaller businesses and startups aiming to establish long-term relationships with a government body like the Department for Transport. ## Notice The Department for Transport (DfT) invites proposals for a Mindfulness Mobile Phone Application Provider.
