## Summary

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has completed the procurement process titled "DWP SAS Viya Project," focusing on IT services, covering consulting, software development, Internet, and support. This project is aimed at the seamless migration from SAS 9.4 to SAS VIYA 4, enhancing the user experience for the Analytical Community. The contract, awarded under a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement, was finalised on 15th November 2024, with the contract term spanning from 18th November 2024 to 28th March 2025. The procurement involves services across multiple locations, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, United Kingdom, and the rest of the world, with a contract value of £135,125.

Companies specialising in IT consulting, software development, and support are well-suited to compete for similar projects within the public sector.
