## Summary

The Office for National Statistics (ONS), a national agency based in Newport, United Kingdom, has concluded the procurement process for a "Software Engineering Partner" under the category of IT services. The call-off contract, valued at £8,000,000, was finalised on 7th July 2025, under the limited procurement method due to the scope falling outside the usual directive, as specified under the Procurement act 2015. This contract aims to address the replacement of several aging legacy systems and to support the ONS's in-house digital and data delivery projects. The opportunity covers the region of UK and offers an option for a short-term extension of six months, providing flexibility while a re-tender is being prepared.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses experienced in IT services, specifically those involved in consulting, software development, and IT support. Companies with expertise in handling legacy systems and providing robust digital transformation solutions stand to benefit significantly. As the contract includes provisions for future re-tendering, businesses specialising in these areas should monitor the industry for upcoming opportunities. Large-scale IT service providers, like the awarded company ANDigital, headquartered in Maidenhead, UK, exemplify the type of enterprise that can effectively compete and thrive in contracts of this magnitude.
