## Summary

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has awarded a contract titled "SAS Support & Maintenance Backlog" with a value of £98,100 to SAS UK & Ireland. This procurement falls under the category of IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support. The contract, intended to address backlog items and ensure the DWP's Data Warehouse environment meets required standards, will be executed across multiple locations including the United Kingdom and internationally. The process was conducted using a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract award was finalised on 30th September 2024, with the contractual period set from 1st November 2024 to 13th December 2024.

This tender creates substantial growth opportunities for businesses in the IT services sector, particularly those specialising in software development and support. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) can find this an ideal opportunity to expand their portfolios by meeting the DWP's technical requirements and quality standards. With the contract duration spanning over a month, businesses equipped with robust technical capabilities and experience in handling large-scale IT implementations are well-suited to compete and deliver exceptional services. The involvement of an influential organisation like the DWP further underscores the importance and potential for continuous collaboration and business development.

## Notice

As part of the remediation of the DWP Data Warehouse (DWH_R), DWP launched a programme of work to build technical environments that will satisfy our SAS application requirements. Cut-over to the new environment is now complete however, there are a number of key backlog items that need to be completed to ensure the service is fit for purpose and to DWP standards
