## Summary

The FBC Partner Procurement, initiated by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, concerns the award of a contract for IT services, specifically consulting, software development, Internet, and support, with a total value of £490,000. This procurement process is complete, with the contract period running from 1 October 2021 to 31 March 2022. The procurement method employed was selective, involving a call-off from an existing framework agreement. The initial tender period ended on 16 August 2021, and the award was published on 14 January 2022. The delivery addresses specified include locations in the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom.

This completed tender presents significant business opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in IT services such as software development and support. With the contract already awarded to suppliers including Blue Border Limited, Medley, and Simplex IT, other potential competitors in the IT sector may find future opportunities in similar projects involving framework agreements or public sector contracts, given the strategic focus of Defra on consultation and IT innovation within governmental services.
