## Summary

The Department for Education is seeking suppliers for a Cryptographic Key Management System as part of a tender process initiated on 17th April 2019. The procurement, classified under the software package and information systems category (CPV 48000000), was conducted via a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 26th March 2019, with the contract scheduled to commence on 4th April 2019 and run until 2nd April 2020. The total value of the contract awarded is £51,300, applicable across various delivery addresses within the United Kingdom and other specified regions including the British Overseas Territories and Europe.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to expand their portfolio in the public sector. Businesses specialising in software solutions, particularly those familiar with cryptography and certificate lifecycle management systems, will find this a fitting opportunity to engage with a key governmental client. The active status of the contract awarded to SOFTWARE BOX LIMITED indicates a successful bidding process and might encourage further participation from similar companies in future procurement exercises with the Department for Education.

## Notice
