## Summary

The Department for Work and Pensions initiated a public procurement process titled "IOS Asset Transformation" aimed at improving their IT Asset Management (ITAM) practices. This acquisition, classified under the category of IT services (CPV code 72000000), has a total contract value of £1,917,984 and is based in Sheffield, England. The tender period ended on 28 February 2018, with the contract set to commence on 1 March 2018 and conclude on 29 February 2020. The procurement method used for this tender falls under the 'Other' category.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those focusing on consulting, software development, and support. Companies that provide high-quality License Management Solutions and have expertise in data management, cybersecurity, and cloud infrastructure will be particularly suited to compete in such tenders. Furthermore, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this procurement process advantageous, given the technical specifications and the emphasis on ITAM best practices.

## Notice

To gain a more mature ITAM process, DWP will need to invest in not only a quality License Management Solution, but will also need to make sure that the data supplied into that solution is of a high standard. Good data lights up other areas within the business. By introducing ITAM best practices, tools, and resources while providing a complete view of your infrastructure it will help DWP drive better IT decisions throughout all software and related asset lifecycle management. In addition to many ITAM benefits, utilizing ITAM in other areas can help you stay on top of the day-to-day, dynamic changes to your infrastructure such as adding new people or devices, managing access levels to sensitive data, cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure and rolling out applications that support new business needs. In addition to this a good ITAM tool, with good data, will save the Asset Management team at DWP time and resource, freeing them up to be more proactive.
