## Summary

The contract titled "DWP People & Capability Insights Licenses" was awarded by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), focusing on the provision of information technology services. This procurement, completed on 5 March 2021, involved a single tender action method with a total value of approximately £95,000. The contract covers the period from 31 March 2021 to 30 May 2022, and the services are intended to improve recruitment processes through access to real-time LinkedIn data.
