The process is at the planning stage with a projected start date for the contract on 1st April 2028, ending by 31st March 2033, with a possibility of extension until 2035.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are suited for providing comprehensive IT services across multiple regions. Businesses specialising in IT consulting, software development, and internet services will find this tender fitting for their services, given the project's broad geographic scope and substantial financial scale. The procurement provides an excellent platform for businesses to establish or strengthen their presence in the public sector IT services market, with opportunities for renewal and extension presenting added long-term prospects. The planned call-off from a framework agreement simplifies access, making it more accessible for well-prepared suppliers to engage with the procurement process.
