The UK Hydrographic Office has issued a planned procurement notice for the "Production Systems Support and Development" project. This procurement process, categorised under IT services (consulting, software development, Internet and support), is set to take place in the United Kingdom. The organisation, located in Taunton, is seeking an open procedure method for this procurement, and the contract period is proposed to start on 1st February 2026, concluding on 31st August 2031. The planning update was last recorded on 30th September 2025, with a future notice anticipated by 31st October 2025.
