## Summary

The procurement process for the "End to End Testing Service" has been managed by the Department for Work and Pensions, based in Blackpool, England. This project falls under the Information Technology Services category (CPV code: 72222300) and has been awarded following a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off contract from a framework agreement. The contract value is set at £2,445,600, with the awarded amount being £815,200. The contract period spans from March 3, 2022, to September 9, 2022, and the tender was completed on March 2, 2022.

This award presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in information technology services, particularly those offering comprehensive testing solutions. Businesses that can demonstrate their capability in managing technical compliance and legal standards related to software and systems testing would be well-placed to compete in similar future tenders. The proven model and structured testing approach within health services indicate a growing demand for reliable IT support in the public sector, paving the way for potential collaborations and contracts.

## Notice

Specifically, there are a number of products we are looking for support to ensure they remain fit for purpose and meet technical and legal standards. These services have historically been developed as isolated deliveries despite having a common deployment eco-system and lack a joined up test approach. An outline approach has been developed and brought into reality for our PIP and HAS services. As the model has now been proven we need to expand the approach to cover additional areas of Health as well continuing management/iteration of the existing cross context testing platforms and approach.
