## Summary

The Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult, part of the Catapult Network, has recently completed an Information, Communication & Technology Framework titled ORE/24/033. The procurement process, classified under the IT services industry, primarily focuses on consulting, software development, Internet, and support services. The contract has been awarded on 20th January 2026 and is to be executed within the UK, following a restricted procedure under selective procurement. This framework agreement was put together to yield ICT services across multiple lots, although a few were cancelled, leading to an active contract for the entire agreement.

The ICT Framework Agreement creates substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for organisations skilled in the IT services sector including consulting and support services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and large corporations alike were involved, showcasing a diverse supplier base from various regions in the UK. Given the competitive nature and the selective procurement method employed, businesses that demonstrate strong technical capabilities and competitive pricing were in a prime position to benefit. This framework aids in establishing connections with prominent buyers like the Catapult Network, offering further growth potential given the collaborative nature of the project and potential co-financing options involving funds such as the European Regional Development Fund.
