The Home Office has completed a procurement process for the "Common Business Application," intended to enhance the operational efficiency of Border Force Officers using an open-source application.

The tender period ended on 18 July 2017, and the contract commenced on 29 August 2017, running until 28 August 2019.

As public sector contracts are increasingly favouring innovative technology solutions, businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), should consider engaging with the government’s digital and operational procurement strategies to expand their market reach.
