The process concluded at the award stage on 6th May 2026, with the contract period slated to commence from 31st July 2026 through to 30th July 2029.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in digital collaboration tools and are capable of supporting large-scale and international software deployments. The framework agreement used for this procurement is particularly advantageous for well-established companies with experience in delivering comprehensive software solutions capable of supporting remote and hybrid work environments.
