## Summary

The Cabinet Office has concluded a public procurement process under the title "Government Grants Managed Service (GGMS) pilot extension". The project focuses on the IT services industry, specifically consulting, software development, and internet support, with the contract valued at £7,363,614 GBP. The procurement phase is complete, and the contract was officially awarded on 2nd April 2025 to Bloom Procurement Services Ltd, headquartered in Newcastle upon Tyne (postal code NE1 2DS). The procurement method used was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender initially closing on 7th March 2025. The contract period spans from 2nd April 2025 to 31st March 2026.

This contract presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with experience in government grant administration. It is especially relevant for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as it seeks to innovate grant administration by developing a GDS-compliant tool, enabling a centralised and potentially more efficient process. While the current award is for Bloom Procurement Services Ltd, this procurement process signifies potential future opportunities for businesses equipped to offer competitive and innovative IT solutions in public grant management systems.

## Notice

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP have been appointed by Bloom Procurement Services Ltd on behalf of the Cabinet Office to continue the pilot of a centralised managed service to administer government grants (typically non-complex, low value, and high volume), presenting a competitive alternative to existing grant administration options; and to further develop the Grants Lifecycle Utility proof of concept tool, to bring it into full production as a GDS-compliant product.
