## Summary

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has successfully awarded the "Supply Chain Catalyst" contract, focusing on enhancing supply chain visibility with IT services, consultancy, software development, and internet support. The procurement process fell under the "selective" method, implemented through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Moody's, starting on 28th December 2025 and concluding on 27th December 2026. Situated in Blackpool within the North West region of the United Kingdom, the process reached completion through its award phase dated 20th March 2026, following a tender period that ended on 19th November 2025.

This contract presents tangible growth opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, especially those focusing on supply chain visibility. Companies with expertise in software development and consulting within the IT sector should find this contract particularly beneficial.
