## Summary

The Department for Education is the contracting authority for the "DfE Secondary BACs Service - Fusion Bacsactive-IP" project, with a focus on the IT services industry, specifically consulting, software development, Internet, and support. This public procurement process has reached the award stage, involving a call-off from a framework agreement, with ACCOUNTIS EUROPE LTD being the appointed supplier. The contract period is set from 17th July 2025 to 18th July 2028, and it covers multiple regions throughout the UK, including London, the Midlands, and the South East. The procurement, valued at £154,755.59, was completed under a selective method, making it pertinent for SMEs, although it does not specifically target VCSEs.

This procurement project presents valuable business growth opportunities for IT service providers, especially those skilled in software development and support services. The contract's selective nature through a framework arrangement could be particularly advantageous for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their public sector portfolio. Organisations equipped with expertise in Bacs services and a presence or capacity in the multiple regions specified could find this a strategic opportunity to strengthen their foothold in the public sector IT services market.
