## Summary

The procurement process described involves the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) based in Manchester, England, seeking to award contracts for the provision of Slack licenses. This tender, titled "Slack 2020," falls under the software package and information systems industry category and has an allocated budget of £200,368. The procurement method used is selective, with a call-off from a framework agreement, and the contract period spans from 1st April 2020 to 31st March 2021. The contract award was published on 6th October 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in software solutions and IT services, as it required 1,800 Slack licenses along with associated premium support. Companies that provide enterprise software solutions or have expertise in collaboration tools would be well positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future. As the DWP aims to maintain uniformity and compliance across its organisation, suppliers that can ensure seamless integration and support for such collaborative platforms could greatly benefit.

## Notice

DWP currently holds the SaaS Enterprise Slack with all compliance tools which requires an annual license. This license brings conformity across the organisation and all of the various slacks currently utilised under control, providing a uniform platform for collaboration for delivery. The requirement was for 1800 Slack licences and associated Premium Support (same as previous) for a further 12 months
