This procurement falls under the category of IT services, specifically focusing on systems and technical consultancy. The tender is currently in the active stage, with a submission deadline set for 17th February 2022. The total budget for this project is estimated at £630,000, and the procurement will follow an open procedure, allowing for a wider range of bids. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in IT consulting and software development, particularly those specialising in integrated systems support and technology solutions for educational institutions. Companies with experience in delivering large-scale IT projects and ensuring compliance with educational regulations would be ideally positioned to compete. The successful contractor will have the chance to work closely with a key governmental body, enhancing their portfolio and potentially opening doors for future contracts in the public sector. ## Notice GTCNI rely on the current IT system to support the function of registration.
