## Summary

The public procurement process titled "Software Development Framework" was initiated by the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult, located in Glasgow, UK. This framework, classified under IT services and involving consulting, software development, and support, was procured via an open procedure. Key dates include the tender period ending on 26 March 2025 and the contract being signed on 7 October 2025. The final procurement stage is marked as complete with the contract award status reported as active. The procurement included a single lot which, although later cancelled, initially valued at £400,000, had 18 valid bids ranging from £0.01 to £400,000.

This opportunity presented significant potential for businesses involved in IT services, particularly those specialising in consulting, software development, and online support. While the lot was eventually cancelled, the award criteria primarily focused on technical quality (80%) and commercial cost (20%), suggesting a competitive edge for businesses offering high-quality technical solutions with cost efficiency. The procurement process was suited for SMEs like WARP Technologies Ltd, which was slated as a successful bidder. Companies looking to expand within the UK's renewable energy sector and IT consultancy fields could find similar opportunities beneficial for business growth.
