## Summary

The procurement process for the provision of urgent business support was conducted by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office in the United Kingdom. This initiative, classified under the industry category of IT services, encompasses the delivery of consulting and software development services. The procurement method was a limited tender procedure due to extreme urgency, with the award signed on 12 January 2022, and the overall process is now complete. The contract value amounts to £467,325.60.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT consulting and support services, particularly those that can respond swiftly to urgent requirements.
