## Summary

The Department for Work and Pensions has concluded an award for IBM Licensing related to the HTTP Programme and the Cloudera Strategic Data Platform. This procurement, classified under Software package and information systems, involves upgrading IBM software to Business Automation Workflow (BAW) with a 24-month support agreement, alongside a Cloudera DMS subscription with a 12-month maintenance plan. The contracting process also allows for the possibility of integrating additional IBM software based on the HTTP programme's requirements. The procurement method chosen was a call-off from a framework agreement, and the contract runs from 3rd December 2025 to 31st December 2027. The location of delivery is in Manchester, United Kingdom.

This contract presents growth opportunities for businesses in the software and IT sectors, specifically those experienced in implementing and managing large-scale software solutions. Given the scale and specificity of the requirements, larger enterprises with capabilities in software package development and comprehensive maintenance support will find this tender most aligned with their business offerings. While SMEs and VCSEs were not deemed suitable in this particular tender due to its complexity, companies already engaged with the Department for Work and Pensions on similar ventures or those with prior experience in framework agreements would have had competitive advantages in bidding.
