The Department for Work and Pensions has completed the procurement process for the 'Engineering Communication and Collaboration Tool 2025' contract, classified under Information Technology Services (CPV code 72222300). The contract, valued at £254,034, involves implementing a communication tool that facilitates both public and private channels.

The contract period is set to begin on 30 March 2025 and conclude on 29 March 2026.
